You can think of the paradox in another way: we live in an era when knowledge – in the sense of information – is constantly available in real time through computers, smart phones, electronic tablets, and book readers. And yet we still lack the basic skills of reflecting on such information, of sifting through the dirt to find the worthy nuggets.
你可以从另外的角度思考这一悖论：我们生活的时代可以通过电脑、智能手机、电子书写板和图书阅览器不断实时获得以信息为载体的知识。可我们仍然缺乏反思这些信息的基本能力，无法拨去表面的浮土找到真正的黄金。我们是被铺天盖地信息所包围的无知愚民。
