The web is just facilitating things for those who don't want to check facts in a library.
Obviously many people don't even stay 2 minutes on a page to read something, maybe they read the first 3 lines and then change page. TL;DR
Internet is making people lazy, not necessarily stupid. Although there are people who believe things without checking in depth. But the same goes for other media, the radio, the television.
But without doubt, reading books helps absorb more information, as opposed to the net where things circulate quickly and are more graphic.
