Having an education is imperative in todays society and we all would do better to have educated people around us. Basically it benefits everyone and helps propel our society forward. The internet and the free exchange of information has changed the education game though, basically if you want to learn something the information is just waiting for you to look it up. It raises the question of wether the current educational system is still valid and should it continue through it's current model or does it need to play catch up to stay relevent.
Obviously having an experienced instructor who can guide you through your learning is important but how does copying down facts and figures prepare you for a purposeful life contributing to society? I'm not sure how we'd tackle these issues specifically but we should stop to consider them and get the discussion going. I've been thinking about this for a while and I have some ideas, but this blog was sparked from Dan Browns video which I will link below, you should give it a watch.
