Personally I think it will be the reverse. Future generations will have wetware installed that will augment their brains and memories. Rather than learning memorization skills, they will instead be trained on searching and analyzing the data they can pipe into their brains from outside sources.
I think some of that will come with training for how to avoid brain rot, but when the world's data is at your fingertips, it seems like it might be better to focus the brain on processing vs. memorization. What I'll be curious to see is how we adapt to being always connected like that. Will we see the first true hive minds evolve? Will we lose our sense of self? Will time seemingly speed up?
