Education

Education is big news, it is everywhere, but, if you watch the Chase, many graduates only get £2k in the cash builder, why is this?

Because they have a limited spectrum of interest?

Snippets, that's the answer, these young geezers don't seem to absorb them, it goes in one ear, and comes out the other, the Slumdog Millionaire showed how important Snippets are.

Re: Education

A day without learning something is a day lost.

The internet has a lot to answer for too - time was that if you wanted to know about something you found out by looking for the relevant subject/item in books. Our family's encyclopedia `Fact Index` was a mine of information and because you had to search page by page to find what you wanted it sunk in.

Today, it's all available with no effort by using a quick Google search.

Re: Education

You sure, some folks have not intentionally absorbed facts and figures for many decades, but, the database still contains quite a bit of stuff.

You know when you are getting old, when, you use Google to confirm what you think, you already know.

Indeed! One can ignore many search outcomes to cherry pick what one wants to hear!
