You bring up some good points with the parallels in the brain however I think more is lost in the exposure to different experiences that you simply can't replicate online.

For most, it'll be difficult to differentiate between things (physical books, library visits, spending time outdoors, etc) that we don't want to leave behind for nostalgic reasons and things that we shouldn't leave behind because they help us with maturity, growth, etc.

I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on this. Technological change is a part of society, yes, but is it always best for the individual?
