Even if you had a thirst for knowledge, you really couldn't do anything about it, because there were very few books to read. So, and the internet is something beyond the Gutenberg press, I think.

So, previously, the way the information would travel would be by osmosis, one person to another, or one person calling another. But the access to information is very limited.
