Is the Digital Generation Producing Polymaths?

Librarian has become a profession that requires specialized training and concentrates on management, leaving little or no time for reading the books. Universities are less hospitable to polymaths than they used to be as teaching loads increase and meetings multiply. Cultural journals happily still exist, but they are losing readers and also advertising. It might be argued that the polymath belongs to an old regime that is obsolete or at least obsolescent. Will the digital generation produce polymaths? I certainly hope so.
