Quotes by Michael Patrick Lynch  (?)

“What we—both as individuals and as a society—should learn from Mom and Locke is that we must be extremely careful about allowing online information acquisition—Google-knowing—to swamp other ways of knowing.”
Michael P. Lynch, The Internet of Us: Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data

“My hypothesis is that information technology, while expanding our ability to know in one way, is actually impeding our ability to know in other, more complex ways; ways that require 1) taking responsibility for our own beliefs and 2) working creatively to grasp and reason how information fits together. Put differently, information technologies, for all their amazing uses, are obscuring a simple yet crucial fact: greater knowledge doesn’t always bring with it greater understanding.”
Michael P. Lynch, The Internet of Us: Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data

“As the literary critic and writer Leon Wieseltier remarks, “every technology is used before it is completely understood.”
