It is amazing what you can learn with the ability to read, quickly access information and have the opportunity to gain experience. I’m no fan of Bill Gates with his greed and misuse of government, but I agree with him here.

I've learned more since the www took off than I learned in high school and college combined.

And a good amount of that was from reading posts here on FR (and then further researching on my own)

I'm an amateur mechanic, and the amount of information on just the subject of cars and vehicle maintenance that is available compared to when I was in HS (early/mid 80s), is just breathtaking.

Of course, there's also a lot of crap and mis/dis-information out there.

Just think, one doesn't have to get stuck all semester possibly with a leftist azzroid professor nor have colleges lay a huge albatross of economic debt around the neck either.
