Nicholas Carr with an essay about Harold Innis you should consume slowly:

“Enormous improvements in communication have made understanding more difficult.” With that one startling and seemingly paradoxical sentence, [Innis] called into question a foundational assumption of modern media and, indeed, modern society: that an abundance of information brings a wealth of knowledge. Information and knowledge, he saw, could be adversaries.

Our new emperors give us all the information we can consume but starve us of knowledge.
