Already in the 1990, when Tim Berners Lee was still only writing the code for the World Wide Web, the NYU researcher in communication Neil Postman was warning us that our not thought through handling of information, combined with the extensive volumes that were already there, brought us to a situation where our very sense of meaning is at stake. What might be an alternative?

Etc.
