I must agree with you here on the second count. My experience with the teenagers I teach over here is that they don't think they need to study anything in depth any more because they already know everything and can just click on the internet and look it up. This is possibly a negative to be considered -we may risk losing experts in many specializations, or at least progress being made in certain fields because of this sort of inverse logic!
It would be practically impossible to keep kids off the internet till the age of 11 though - they probably use it in Primary school these days anyway..
