Didn't Einstein say that don't memorise what you can look up? E.g. nothing nowadays since we have the Internet.

All of us over here memorizing words to speak instead of looking up each word each time...

The internet has so much information we often can't actually find what we're looking for once we get past a certain surface level understanding. Or people don't want to pay to host it anymore. Our people disagree with it and it's taken down.

I don't disagree with Einstein, but I wonder what he would say with the modern internet at his disposal. Maybe the same?
