Does the Internet Inhibit Wisdom?
You’ll find a great little interview with Shane Hipps at ChristianityToday.com on how technology impacts who we are, even as Christians. After a career in advertising, Hipps is now a Mennonite pastor. His new book is Flickering Pixels: How Technology Shapes Your Faith.
From the interview:
[The Internet] creates a permanent puberty of the mind. We get locked in so much information, and the inability to sort that information meaningfully limits our capacity to understand. The last stage of knowledge is wisdom. But we are miles from wisdom because the Internet encourages the opposite of what creates wisdom

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
