Not dumbing down you can say but yeah it definately affects study n all.The person gets addicted to the net and gives less importance to other activities which are more or less necessary in his/her life.The result is obvious,degrading marks or dedication at work.

Similar sort of situation here:
Till 7th grade I used to get 85+%.Got 88 in 7th,87 in 8th but in 9th I just went crazy!Very poor performance in the first and second semesters but managed to get 76% in the final semester.Now I'm in 10th grade,didn't get good marks in the first term.Let's see what comes up in CBSE boards.
Till 8t grade anyone(not a real dumb one) manages to get 80%+ even by giving very little time to studies but they get shocks in 9th,10th and the following classes.
I too used to play games all the time till 8th,I also had internet but the studies were never too demanding,at least till then.
