We've had libraries since long before the Internet. I don't think lack of access to information is as much to blame as lack of time and/or willingness to make an effort.

Also, we live in a culture that celebrates, glorifies and rewards stupidity to an insane degree. There is simply very little incentive for people to try and improve themselves.
