On a data-visualization blog that I like, I came across this review of a book called "Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It", with some provocative quotes:
But creativity doesn’t happen in a void. Successful innovators and artists effortfully amass vast stores of knowledge, which they can then draw on effortlessly. [...]
A major concern of this book is that digital technologies are severing the link between effort and mental exploration. By making it easier for us to find answers, the Web threatens habits of deeper inquiry—habits that require patience and focused application.
Might be an avenue to pursue?
