How will the education be impacted by information and online revolution?

Nowadays, when we want to know something, we can find it out at the click of a button and even by using our phones to make a simple search into Google or Yahoo. Information is easily within reach, and it's impact in education is starting to become apparent. Students now rely more on computers than they do books, where as books played a larger role in education in the past. Yes students can have access to more information from a wide variety of sources, but it doesn't necesseraliy mean it's correct and verifiable? As well as this, it could be argued that the internet actually has an 'overload' or too much information, which is a danger for younger children, for example, who if not controlled, can accidentally come across information they shouldn't be having access to at their age, partially influencing their attitudes at a young age.

The online revolution has a lot to answer for, but at the same time it has a lot to be thankful for. In terms of education, it is changing the way we learn. Nowadays, having an online presence at university is crucial as they provide a lot of our course content there, as well as final exam marks, places to submit projects and correspondence from lecturers about classes. Without the internet, I can't imagine how we would receive any of that information. I'd love to hear about someone else's university experience in a pre-internet existence!
