I'm paraphrasing, but this is the gist of an old Woody Allen joke. Curiously, it always reminds me of a parental debate that occurred throughout my childhood:

Father: No way, books are the font of all knowledge.
And this was how it used to be. We knew we ought to, but nobody could be bothered with them. The presentation was dull, austere and thoroughly uninspiring.
