Current president, of course I know that guys name

I don't know anything. I used to know things, like facts, stats, events, etc. Now.....nothing. I just google it. These days we don't need to know anything because everything is a click away. Everything I spent the majority of my previous years doing was learning and 'knowing' things. Every single thing I stressed about learning then, I can look up in minutes now. Open Door Policy? Chloroplasts? Homonyms? Addition? Who needs 'em all the time. I can just go get them as needed, like when at a social gathering everybody wants to start talking about the periodic table. But what has also happened as a result of this is a that I forget everything now. Movies, news, music, even everyday personal things and memories. The bad part is I can't look to wikipedia to remember that dude at works name or what was so funny on Saturday night, but I can find out in seconds which Baldwin brother is in that bad tv movie you saw. So I guess this leaves me wondering why we need to 'learn' or memorize things anymore in school. I know we need basics, but can't we worry about the rest as needed and start worrying about more valuable real life stuff in school. Like how to merge on to the highway or say thank you when someone holds a door for you; you know the things that for all I know, no one around here ever heard of. And since we don't need to remember all this stuff, shouldn't we be able to pack our brains with other stuff? I don't know if the brain works like a garage but logically you would figure it makes sense. Or maybe we are just getting dumber and are doomed to be worse off as people because of technology or maybe.....huh?.....what?....I gotta go figure out the name of that Neil Diamond song and how to multiply fractions...
