[etni] How Computers Make Kids Dumb

In the article How Computers Make Kids Dumb, from "The Register", researchers 
from the UK question the widely held belief that information = power.  
"The authors, Thomas Fuchs and Ludger Woessmann of Munich University, used the 
PISA tests to measure the skills of 100,000 15 year-olds. When social factors 
were taken into account, PC literacy was no more valuable than ability to use a 
telephone or the internet, the study discovered."
