Absolutely, the internet has been both friend and foe to the newer generation. Person's are more apt to search the internet for information rather than relying on parents and teachers. The no question asked policy and privacy gives the internet much more validity. People are relying on it much more and learning to distinguish information.

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
