“In Plato’s Phaedrus, Socrates bemoaned the development of writing. He feared that, as people came to rely on the written word
as a substitute for the knowledge they used to carry inside their heads, they would, in the words of one of the dialogue’s
characters, “cease to exercise their memory and become forgetful.” And because they would be able to “receive a quantity of
information without proper instruction,” they would “be thought very knowledgeable when they are for the most part quite
ignorant.” They would be “filled with the conceit of wisdom instead of real wisdom.”” – NICHOLAS CARR
