The Owl has flown S. Birkerts

The vast and every day availability of new and exponentially increasing information disables our society from acknowledging all, and from learning what we are to learn with profound thought. But this is not always a negative sign, it is true that centuries ago, knowledge was a privilege of only few and those counted ones were seen as deities, such view allowed for infinity of tyranny and misconceptions of the many others who were not able to know. Our societies have changed as do the functions of every one of their members. As these functions differ, the kind of information they are required to know changes as well. It is true that these mounts of information make us select our reading, but we no longer have to relay on our memory as robots, we have the privilege of the accessibility of information with greater speed that it we ever thought before.
