To certain degree, yes. Information technology has made education more easier and faster. People can show up their idea by using Powerpoint or any other visual medium. Aside from that, IT has brought a new revolution where knowledge can be delivered more convenient than before. However, some technology such as calculator has made human more dependent on it and worst, become dumber. I said that way because nowadays many people use calculator in their daily life including to calculate simple mathematics problem. This shows how we, human is using our brain less and less. So, the paradox is there, and if it can not be avoided may be reducing it is enough. Have a great life and welcome to myLot.
