does the internet make you dumber??

I feel like the internet does make people dumber because it doesn't always have true things up there or half of the truth. my proof is that "people who read text studded with links,the studies show comprehended less than those who read traditional linear text". It also said "people who watch busy multimedia presentation remember less than those who take in a more sedate and focused manner". This is what I believe because I see people now a days that can talk about a tv show but in school and cant explain whats going on.
