Great post. There is scientific evidence that states that the human mind has plasticity and will adapt to new ways of thinking. The problem is that, the mind can't discern whether these new ways will have a positive or a negative outcome. I tried using a flip-phone instead of a smart phone, but that endeavor only lasted a few months. The lure of so much information at my finger tips was very difficult to pass on (even if, as you mention, much of that information is useless).
