23"Contemporary technology makes available many small pieces of factual information. As a result, people have become so preoccupied with bits of fragmented information that they pay too little attention to the larger issues and overall perspectives."
183"As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and more mysterious."
205"As societies all over the world have more and more access to new information, the effects on life-long learning can only be positive."
215"The bombardment of visual images in contemporary society has the effect of making people less able to focus clearly and extensively on a single issue over a long period of time."
219"Now that computer technology has made possible the rapid accessing of large amounts of factual information, people are less likely than ever to think deeply or originally. They feel unable to compete with—much less contribute to—the quantity of information that is now available electronically."
233"Although innovations such as video, computers, and the Internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students, these technologies all too often distract from real learning."
155"Contemporary society offers so many ways of learning that reading books is no longer very important."
观点:
随着技术的进步,人类学习的障碍从以前难以获得信息变为现在信息过多难以处理和理解。因此,重要的是增强信息处理的能力,既能从信息的海洋里找到全貌,又能在需要的时候检索细节。
先说明曾经的信息缺乏导致认识障碍,过于肤浅
再说明信息爆炸导致细节过多,而难以关注整体
加大信息处理的能力有助于掌握全面,且在需要是调查细节
结论:与时具进

With the advancement in technology, the major obstacle of learning for human-being changed form the past difficulties to access pervious knowledge and to exchange ideas with others, to the current inabilities to obtain the interested information from the overwhelming volume of information. As a result, in order to adapt the changes in present information age, what is necessary to us in learning and research is to strength our skill to process and organize the huge information.
In the past, the major obstacle to handicap people in learning is the inadequate approach to collect information. Before writing was created, for example, knowledge was only learned and discussed in a family, face-to-face, generation to generation. It was hard for people in pre-history era to collect information out of the scope of their family and keep their experience safely against the risk of their scholar’s accident death. Therefore, human civilization advanced extreme slowly before the popularity of books and the establishment of public libraries. After the age of industrialization, the cost of books, also the cost of information in another word, reduced dramatically and could by afforded by the mass ordinaries. The widely spread books significantly dismissed the obstacle to access information for human being, and contributed to the progress of the modern civilization greatly.
With the current emerging of modern technologies, such as computer, Internet and video records, everyone can access the state-of-art information worldwide at home, but not all people could improve their efficiency in learning and research if they failed to refine their skill to acquire information effectively. Rather than the traditional books which only contain the text and picture, the inventions of computer Internet and video offer people the possibility to access every fresh news taking place in the earth and even out of the earth, as well as the multimedia information on the interested topic, including voices, videos and animations. However, too much information may distract people's attention from the expected target if we can not process the overwhelming raw data in the right way or do not grasp the methodology on how to summarize the helpful information.
In order to adapt the current changes contributed by technology advancements, the skill in learning and research should be refined. The basic idea to process the huge information is to classify and organize the original data. Only after the classification and summarization, could people reveal the relationship among the fragmented information piece and restore the overall perspectives of the research topics. Moreover, certain innovative technologies in computer science also ease the pain in information collection and knowledge extraction. Google, the world famous search engine, is an excellent example. With the help of Google, people can easily find the related information to their topics, and the even more, hit the correct answer directly if Google understands what people want to know successfully. As a result, the reduced overhead for people to collect information and summarize information make it possible to devote more attention and efforts in understand and creating knowledge, which strengths our abilities to create innovative issues.
To sum up, the social evolution to information age requires everyone to improve their skills in learning. Only if people can collect and organize the fragmented information effectively, could they benefit from the changed study pattern, not only ignoring the larger issues and overall perspectives but to exploring into specified detail if necessary.
