The Cult of Information (from 1986)

In this video, the late Theodor Roszak discusses the pitfalls of an information-based culture. He argues that we have placed too much importance on information and have readily embraced the computer as a potential substitute for the human brain. He contrasts information with ideas, knowledge and wisdom which can only be gained from human experiences and which cannot be codified into mere data.
