Oh hai.

So i've been thinking lately. In a world where even a stupid man can appear to be intelligent and well informed, provided he has an internet connection, does that mean that intelligence has been cheapened? There was a time when intellect  was earned, with long hard hours of pouring over books, writing paper after paper. I wouldn't consider myself to be stupid, but i've let wikipedia do the talking for me many a time. Failing that, i've just repeated something i've heard or read about. And that got me by. I mean, hell, i've used spell check five times so far in writing this.

Does that make me stupid? Or just lazy?
