We or rather our kids will be paying that price as they are forced to pay 
the deferred taxes that are currently paying for the Iraq debacle.

Or circumvented altogether.  I saw a program the other day that was 
talking about basically implanting a computer in the brain providing a 
for real neural network where you can think and connect to the internet 
and google to your hearts content to have information at your axontips.

This is literally mind blowing..the first step to telepathic 
communication...

It would be hard.  I agree with you, though, that it is not essential. 
When I am offline, I miss the computer as a resource.  If I need to plan 
activities for 10 days or 13 days out, the only info source is the 
internet.  Weather information is the main thing I miss, that and being 
able to instantly find an answer to a question.
