RE: Education is the Solution... .:. Late Night Blogging

Honestly? That's not very surprising for me. For example, when I think about my work colleagues and their lunch conversations... there's really only Netflix.
It seems to me that most people lack the ability to sit down for half an hour and concentrate on reading and cognitively processing something.

Yes the media plays a sad role in this drama, but it's also the consumers. I'm not sure which came first - the old problem of hen and egg - but that's not important. We should try to cultivate a new culture, we as parents live this out for our children.

A completely different topic, but have you ever looked at how much cheap junk a lot of people surround themselves with by their own free will?
Let's take a simple example: a pen. I hate those cheap things that don't work right after just 2x writing, so a couple of years ago I bought a decent pen for about $60. I will probably never have to buy a pen again in my life because I bought once quality. We could continue this at will... Clothes, shoes, furniture, etc.
Do we really want our children to live in a world of cheap throwaway junk?

All this also has to do with education. And of course with culture, but what do I know.

Enjoy your weekend!

I remember once that I have seen a meme joking about intelligence, but I can't find it again... It was something like this:

The irony is that it's not a lie and even I remember some manuals on how they looked before, while now most say like: "Don't eat this microwave", or "don't put your genitals in the freezer"... Sad, but true...

And regarding your example... We are living in a "consumer society" and we are taught to buy, buy, buy... I can't believe that nowadays nobody knows how to build something quality (but it is possible that's the case), but rather they create shitty products to force you to buy a new one after X amount of time...
I do understand your frustration... I also like to have a quality item/asset and stick to it rather than change it every month...

Have a great weekend, too!
