Human society is not an one-dimensional linear development, the advantages and disadvantages between gains and losses need to be carefully weighed. At a time of the rapid development of block printing, Su Dongpo marveled at the fact that young students like to read, scramble to print classics and ancient books, and read as many as 10,000 pages every day, but do not like to learn. Isn't that the case with us today? Electronic media does bring convenience and equality to literature access, but do human beings trapped in the ocean of information absorb and inherit more knowledge than ever before, and thus produce higher wisdom?
The main point of view expressed in this passage is that although it is convenient to acquire knowledge at present, there are also hidden disadvantages.
