In the digital age we have less time to absorb and make sense of new information. fewer ways to learn than we did before the digital age. mentally become narrower and deeper rather than wider and shallower. great difficulty accessing quality information.

I believe this to be the opposite. With the digital age, any knowledge can be at your fingertips. Back then people had to rely on certain books to understand a topic, for example the Encyclopedia. My mother has A-Z books in a box somewhere. Those information will be heavily outdated as modern information try to be updated when new information is present.
