Yeah, having the internet in my pocket absolutely affects how much I commit to memory.

Which is a good thing, at least for how my mind works- leaving it up to the internet to fill in the details frees up space in my head to retain a greater breadth of vague knowledge...

You and I both know that freed up space is just used for anxiety.

It's like we can all match the most "erudite" that lives 50 years ago just by the fact we can access infinite knowledge at all times. At the end of the day those guys's work was to know where to look for information in their libraries, and have the surface knowledge to understand what they were reading about.
