Ladies and gentleman, the problem society has today that is probably overlooked, is information overload.
Coming from someone who loves to study and learn, the trouble is not lack thereof of knowledge, but the brain's ability in actually taking in loads of information at a given time. The age where I am now has a vast amount of resource that's immediately accessible once a person know how to use the internet. There has been a great improvement for social media platforms to serve as educational sites for the average joes. YouTube, for instance, has tons of how-to videos and online courses that are in most occasions, free.
Having realized this, the problem is actually me. My brain's ability to stay focused on one topic for an hour or for a day. I could start the day reading on bed and breakfasts places, list of workshops, daily musings of bloggers, and end up with an online lecture series on the Art of Living. It's not that I am a big fan of hoarding but the sentiment I go with is that I do not want to miss out on something I might find interesting.
This open-mindedness has somehow given my imagination the license to run free and escape my reality (i.e. being stuck in the house)
