But Jewish learning at its core is about struggle. Just try to cuddle up with a talmudic passage and a cup of tea and see if the reading comes smoothly. It won't, and it shouldn't.

This social dialectic is lost somewhere between the lonely web-surfer and the mouse. Our spoon-feeding internet and its media equivalents surely have changed the way people think. Information may be widely available, but we are at a loss in processing the overload. They have never learned to construct a rational argument to defend their opinions. Internet learning is more given to bottom lines than to process.
