Read this quote from 
In Praise of the Slow Read by Jeremiah Jacques

"Recent studies show that the desire and ability to undertake a slow, thorough reading are rapidly going the way of the dodo. 

Rather than reading books at length and thinking deeply, we erratically sample our knowledge morsels from a vast array of fast-food factoids buffets. 

For the the sake of connectivity, we sacrifice our *capacities to reflect and synthesize these facts into a coherent bigger picture."

*we sacrifice our ability to articulate our own voices

Think about this deeply and publish a response...............
