The Internet may be the world's greatest library, but let's face it - all the books are scattered on the floor. - D.C. Denison, Boston Globe
Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. - Mitchell Kapor
To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction ... The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think
intensively and to think critically. - Martin Luther King, Jr. The Purpose of Education
