Obviously education changes over time though, that happens because knowledge changes over time.
I obviously know how I've learnt what I know, and I'm obviously aware of what other resources are available to me at home to learn from and I am positive that I wouldn't know nearly have as much as I know now without the internet. It is an actual fact and it ties into the other thread about the library really. That was my source of information from a young age. The internet (thankfully) replaced that so I can get more up to date information and I didn't have to walk miles to get it.
I wouldn't have bothered reading new information every day if I had had to walk all the way to accrington.

knowledge is knowledge blazey, it doesn't change, you just have the ability to add to what you know. I'm 63 in a months time and I learn something new every day, especially on here, nobody knows everything, your always learning from the day you born until the day you die. People in my age group call it the University of Life, which is probably the best one your ever likely to learn from
