Yup. Now we (probably often myself included) rather “learn” from some low effort shitpost than getting distracted by that highly researched encyclopedia set.
Wikipedia can still give you some of that though.

We were much better at retaining information too. It wasn’t available at the tip of your fingers, so we put effort into remembering it. Nowadays I don’t remember anything except for old movie quotes, and stuff pertinent to work. I think the constant influx of information we experience now is interpreted by the mind as noise, and it goes in one eyeball and out the other.
