I've been reading on the topic of parenting, to prepare for fatherhood.

Greg Hunter argued that: "...as far as boys are concerned, modern society is botching the job of parenting."

Richard Watson, author of Future Minds (Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2010), made a great observation on the Information Age. We need context as well as text.
We need to understand principles before we can more to application.
We need breath and depth not just superficial facts.
Unless we know how things can relate to each other we just have information.
For knowledge we need to understand connections and for wishdom we need to understand consequences. Source: The RSA Event
