Yes and no. It provides access to more information ("Google is your friend.") yet makes it easy to spread misinformation and disinformation. Critics say: The internet has reduced our ability to focus; changed how our memory functions; promoted skimming text over deep, critical reading (which, in turn, promotes dangerously false information); and changed how we interact with people.
