Epiphanies and conclusions


So I finally finished my homework and after hours of Youtube-ing and Google-fu-ing, it led me to a couple of conclusions.

Firstly, perhaps our greatest freedom may be the ablility to CHOOSE freedom from freedom.

Sounds pretty meta, but it's true.

Many people are barraged by tweets, status updates, and messages on a daily basis. However, this causes them to become habitually ignorant of what's really important.

Secondly, while the internet and its benefits can also have certain drawbacks, on the whole, it is up to the user to define the experience they have with whatever digital medium they are interacting with.

This means that despite there being an ocean of knowledge readily available, if one becomes too consumed with learning EVERYTHING, then they might not learn ANYTHING at all.......
