The Information Revolution May Not Improve Education

I found this interesting article by Gertrude Himmelfarb that discusses some concerns about education and technology. The article discusses the original impact of books, yes there has been corruption, the reliability of online information, what may be wrong with reading books on a screen and the electronic revolution as it relates to intellectual development. Th article appends a fine list of other book and periodical readings on this subject.
