Knowing More + Understanding Less = Internet

W.W. Norton Books

  Can you even remember the last time you opened a physical dictionary or encyclopedia? 

You don't have to anymore, with the ability to type any term into Google and get results in less than a second--and no paper cuts.

In fact, we seem to understand less.  He visits The Exchange to lay out the case.
