Daniel J. Boorstin Knowledge Quotations

Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.

Knowledge is not simply another commodity. On the contrary. Knowledge is never used up. It increases by diffusion and grows by dispersion.

While knowledge is orderly and cumulative, information is random and miscellaneous.

The fog of information can drive out knowledge.

The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge.
