Its enthusiasts assume that the world will improve if more people have easier access to knowledge. Is the problem the availability of knowledge, however? Will additional information alter the nature of learning? Or is something else missing, a desire to learn and imagine? Do we lack facts or comprehension, the ability to think about information? American culture has always tilted toward amassing facts. Yet the delivery of information progresses, while social relations regress.
