or ideas AND information.
This is a rare treat for me. I've been a big fan of Theodore Roszak for many years and I've just discovered this youtube video of an old discussion with him on US TV from way back in time.
He elaborates very well the distinctions between information and ideas and how they have been juggled around through the late 20th centuary ( and still going up to now ).

edit to add:
This is one of my favourite quotes from Theodore Roszak:
........the capacity of our emerging technocratic paradise to denature the imagination by appropriating to itself the whole meaning of reason, reality, progress and knowledge will render it impossible for men to give any name to their bothersomely unfulfilled potentialities but that of madness. And for such madness, humanitarian therapies will be generously provided.........
(1970 - from "The Making of a Counter Culture")
