I recently read an article, Google on your brain (http://money.cnn.com/2006/07/26/technology/futureoftech_kirkpatrick.fortune/index.htm). The article discusses how in the near future we will be personally connected to the internet through a microcomputer. Every individual will have instant access to copious amounts of data, readily available anywhere on the internet. It is quite interesting. Check it out in the link above.
One aspect of the article mentions that if this were to happen, we would not have the need to learn a second language. I personally do not agree with this. I don't care how advanced the technology may come, "knowledge is power" is only valid if you personally have that knowledge, not just access to it.
