“Don’t get me wrong: you can learn a lot on the internet. You can learn more than at any previous time in history. But ingesting information is only half of learning. The other half, the more important half, is responding to that information, thinking critically about it, about what it implies. Does it fit with your worldview? If not, why not? This is the part of learning that turns knowledge into wisdom, into action. This is the part of learning through which you create yourself, and it demands mental free time, time when you’re not consuming media of any kind, when you’re doing nothing at all. By greedily claiming every appointment on your mind’s timeline, the internet erases these vital hours from your life.”
