Educational Quote #3
Education Quotes February 27th, 2008
Yes, you heard me right. It’s time for yet another installment of our Educational Quotes series. Today, I would like us to ponder this famous quote by an contemperary librarian at Yale.
“We’re drowning in information and starving for knowledge”
- Rutherford Rogers
These words were said a few decades ago and they are even truer in this time and age. We now have access to loads and loads of information, the indexed web alone is estimated to contain 40 billion pages! Considering all of this, one has to ask the question; has this overflow of information really made us more knowledgeble?
I personally do not think so, as knowledge does not equal information. Do you agree to the above quote or do you disagree? Please share your comments below

I will have to agree as well, realistically alot of people don’t naturally percieve to wake up each day to search for something new and discover new knowledge because we are so caught up in our routinal world that we tend to expect and rely that someone else will do it for us or we just have to go to sit in a class and have someone else educate us. We know information is there but it is really up to us to look for it.

Azucena, I couldn’t agree with you more.
I personally believe that there is no way that any teacher (no matter how good s/he is) can teach you anything UNLESS you are willing to learn in the first place.
Knowledge can not be attained unless we are open to it, while information on the other hand doesn’t require any attentiveness at all.
