If the internet is like a public library and in the past people
settled disputes by going to the library to find information, then
this current generation coming up is going to be very intelligent. I
have noticed a good proportion of X'ers who still continue the
computer/nerd not/computer person stereotype. X like Boomer has some
real dumb asses who refuse to use the new tools, plain ignorant fools.
But these new kids have no such info/prejudace and all use these
intelligent tools. I would wager that the millennials are gonna smoke
all generations before then when those generations learn how to gage
the effects of this information/library/wiki thingy. It wll be like
the invention and emergence of the encyclopedia which cause a
massively leterate population in love which reading.

An encyclopedia, encyclopaedia or (traditionally) encyclopaedia, is a
comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all
branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge.
