That being said, there's an article on the New York Times that was just posted today (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/25/technology/25brain.html?_r=1&ref=technology), talking about the value of unplugging as far as it relates to our brain. It basically states that unplugging is good for our brains, as it helps to stimulate creativity, and turn short-term memories into long-term ones. I wholeheartedly agree with this. There's a time to use the internet, and there's a time not to, and at times, I still prefer the good old pen and paper approach to the Scriptures.

In either case, we can't be having much prayerful communion with God, if we're constantly barraged by outside information to which we set up no boundaries or filters. I think if there's one huge negative to our constant access to information, it's that our prayer lives have suffered. And that can't be a good thing.
