The NY Times published a December 2009 report that suggests that the average American consumes 34GB of information daily.
I take this to heart, because I am a bit of an information junkie. It seems to me (although I haven't fleshed this out yet), that there is a biblical distinction between "wisdom" and "information". Solomon, perhaps, discovered that godly wisdom is rooted in the Lord, but that the mere acquisition of information (34GB a day?!) is problematic when he said:
Ecclesiastes 1:16-18- "I said in my heart, 'I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.' And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind. For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow."
Your thoughts? (i.e., help me flesh this out...)
