Famous quotes containing the word information:

    “I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.”
    —Richard Cobden (1804–1865)

    “Many more children observe attitudes, values and ways different from or in conflict with those of their families, social networks, and institutions. Yet today’s young people are no more mature or capable of handling the increased conflicting and often stimulating information they receive than were young people of the past, who received the information and had more adult control of and advice about the information they did receive.”
    —James P. Comer (20th century)

    “So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)
