About This Quote
The quote above is an example of an information age paradox. The idea that the information age has brought us information overload is true, but it's also true that all of this information has led to the creation of smarter individuals. As we've grown more knowledgeable, we've grown more intelligent. After all, it's not smart to do something useless with your knowledge.
