Milleniums? The New York Times can't afford Spell Check for their writers' laptops? I suppose Simon Romero could have an excuse since English may not be his first language. But anyone with nominally working spell check would have this one caught (hint: the plural suffix of many Latin Neuter gender nouns is "a" as a substitute for "um").

This sentiment has probably been echoed by every generation of men approaching codger-hood, but it seems to me that people are becoming increasingly ignorant as the years and decades roll by. Yet when people, paid writers no less, ignore the crutches technology provides to hide their lack of a genuine education we enter the realms of laziness and stupidity.

People value what is rare. Knowledge is prized when educational opportunities are few and far between.

Now that the knowledge of the entire world is available 24/7 in the palm of the hand, ignorance is king. Why have even a basic knowledge of anything when “you can just Google it” (and then go vote demoncrat). :(
