I tend to spend a lot of time questioning: Now that I know X, what do I do with X? What do I do with this new found knowledge? And most importantly, by using this knowledge, who benefits?
But "knowing" is simply not enough. How do we begin to use this information to better our lives, the lives of others and the world as a whole?
Where do we start?
Living in an era of information overload-- the age of technology and media bombardment, keeps us distanced from doing anything productive with the information we come to know. For instance, what are we suppose to do with all the information published on a daily basis? Is it intended to help us? Does it distract us from the bigger picture? Just when you think you "know", your Twitter feed tells you otherwise. There is always another update right around the corner... But my question is, when do we stop updating and start doing? When do we stop looking to books and published works for answers and (dare I say) start thinking for ourselves?
