No, because all the answers are only a click away. They don't even have to think and won't have a chance to develop their brains. They only have to know how to use a computer.

I suspect that it helps them adjust to technology but deters them from reaching emotional maturity. Technology emphasizes superficial communications but detracts from true, deep, honest communications. Additionally, technology gives a false sense of safety, the result of which is that people say things that they would never consider saying to someone's face, hurting people and burning bridges.

Just the way things are, an advantage, not really, but that is from my point of view not theirs. Educational, well no, wikipedia is their best friend haha. Emotionally again no. Everyone knows your business, open to bullying and people expect to be able to contact you 24/7. Glad it was not my childhood.

They have a choice to educate themselves if wanted. I assure you it will not come from the schools. I think it may hinder emotionally development.

As a teenager,I find it hard to imagine how difficult homework must have been without the internet. Respect to you for not being able to copy and paste from Wikipedia. xD

Far from it! A decent amount of websites lie, and are far from the truth of whatever the student is learning. So long as the child has a knowledge on how to tell if a website is trustworthy or not, then they could be benefited.
However; I do NOT believe they have an advantage in life emotionally. IE: Cyber bullying, p*rn, Victoria's Secret models in adds, media.... etc.

Theoretically, yes. Technology has the potential to make classroom lessons more varied and interesting, as well as making educational resources more easily available to pupils in remote areas. The downside is that it encourages laziness: pupils can simply look up the answers and/or plagiarize instead of having to think for themselves and work out the solution to the problem using their own initiative.
Emotionally I suspect it's creating a generation of children used to having everything handed up to them on a plate at the touch of a button. Self-reliance is eclipsed, and its place is taken by an inability to form or use innate judgement in a series of real-life situations.

Yes they do, but they are not driven to take full advantage of that situation. Most of that has to do with lack of parental involvement.
