"My core fear is that we are, as a species, becoming shallower; that we have turned from depth---from the Judeo-Christian premise of unfathomable mystery---and are adapting ourselves to the ersatz security of a vast lateral connectedness. That we are giving up on wisdom, the struggle for which has for millenia has been central to the very idea of a culture, and that we are pledging instead to a faith in the web."
-Sven Birkerts in Minutes of the Lead Pencil Club, p. 28

I think this is too harsh.
