Not at all. I think it's just being more integrated into our lives. My son's homework now often involves the internet. And he does it more willingly and often does extra study when it does.
When was the last time you went to the library to look something up in the encyclopedia? My brother's baby was born with a problem, and by the time I visited him in the hospital, I knew as much as the doctors had told my brother and was able to talk about options reasonably and calmly with him. I've been looking up recipes online instead of buying cookbooks. And I just sent my husband a link on how to order me a Bakewell pudding.
It's just part of our lives now. I don't think we think about it.
