I Really Want to Know: Does Faster Internet Make for Smarter People?
So here is where I'm coming from -
I'm a writer from the Philippines, a Third World Country. I graduated from a Top 10 high school in our country but my college is not Ivy League material. Someone told me earlier that a 2005 study - written by a fellow Filipino - asserts that faster Internet makes for smarter people because "faster Internet = more webpages viewed". The unspoken (well not actually unspoken since I got this direct from the source) is that we common readers here in the Philippines are not as smart because of our slower Internet connection.
Readers from First World / Second World / Third World countries - do you think / feel this is true?
I appreciate any facts or figures or opinions you'd like to share as I really want to know if I should stand corrected (I don't believe in it FYI) but I'm willing to bow down to the truth cold hard facts would
