Interpretive text
We have access to more information than ever before, but has this come at the cost of wisdom? Has the ease with which we generate words been at the expense of the careful handing down of knowledge across the generations? We can all benefit from tapping into the experience of those who have gone before us. We should treasure this resource, as we might treasure a pile of well-thumbed but much-loved books. "We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge." John Naisbitt, American author and public speaker, 1929. May-Britt, 2016
