Isn the Internet irreplaceable as a source of information?
It may become so if we insist on using it to replace all other sources of information. But the decisive point is this: the problems of education have never in recent history resulted from an information bottleneck. We were an information society long before the computer arrived; our problem has been coping with a surfeit of information– selecting from it, evaluating it, making sense of it. The only way to make sense of information is to rise above it in the experience of meaning–a journey that requires imagination more than anything else. See also question 28.
