One of the greatest things about the age we're in right now is that knowledge is available everywhere. Through the internet we have access to lots of instant knowledge, college-level teaching, and anything else we may or may not need to know.Â
In that is a temptation to just relax and enjoy having a library with is everywhere. I find myself more and more not being able to answer questions instantly and saying "I'll look that up" or "I'll send you a link". Then I rush to search the web (less Google more DuckDuckGo now) and reply.Â
The temptation to coast is there in self-improvement, too. Self-proclaimed gurus are sharing their knowledge in the hope that you'll pay them for deeper knowledge and direct access to them. It's amazing and scary at the same time.Â
The internet is fracturing (Balkanizing?) as both governments and the tech giants struggle to control the glut of information on the web. I'm not looking forward to getting the "no access for you" message once walls based on our beliefs and opinions go up.
I'm trying to focus on improving myself a little each day. And to focus on my weak areas while utilizing my strengths. I hope you are, too.Â
