Counterpoint… there is too much information now. There is just too much to keep in a human brain. So, don’t, or, try and make an effort to separate the wheat from the chaff and know where it’s ok to give some up. No, your kids will probably not know as much about an origami trick, but they will know more about fusion or quantum computing or nanobots than you ever will. That doesn’t make them disadvantaged or you better. They might know more about Octaflexagons than you. I’m sure my grand father that worked in a foundry making cast iron pipe would be horrified to discover I don’t know a lot about that process, but I could easily look up more than he ever knew. So, this largely seems like a “kids these days” type of rant.
