The United States educational system has changed dramatically over the course of the last century, from the days when you had to sit in a classroom to the days of computers, laptops, and eBooks. Today, we have access to technology in our homes and at our leisure, and the pace of change is unprecedented.
We see this first hand with the education system. A lot of people who grew up with the old way of learning are now the proverbial adults in their late 20s and early 30s. They have a ton of knowledge, but the time spent on this knowledge is limited. They need to spend more time and effort on things like reading, writing, and learning how to do the things they used to do for themselves.
You’re right. I’ve seen people who’ve become adults now who were in high school or college and never learned to do anything they needed to do. They learned a ton of information that they didn’t use, and that knowledge is very valuable and necessary.
No, you don’t.
Well, you do. Youve got a lot of knowledge, youre in a position of power, and youve been able to use it, so its important for you to make the most out of what youve got. Your knowledge is no longer free. You use it, spend more time on it, and when youre done, you need to think of ways to take what youve learned in the future and use it in ways youve never before been able to.
