i found this gem through a blog called mildly malevolent, which also has an excellent commentary about being well read and if that's changed somewhat over generations. he gives short shrift to the guardian's view about academic learning, though, and i tend to agree with it. not that i think that tv is an exceptionally "valid" source (mostly because it's so difficult to filter the layers of propoganda), but i'm biased to think the nature of learning is changing and most universities and employers aren't recognizing it.
