You might be tired of hearing we live in the Information Age.
Information, once, something centralized and consequently expensive, stooped to have these features, becoming in something decentralized, resulting in an expressive cheapening of possibility of acquiring knowledge.
It means, nowadays, you don't need to spend rivers of money to learn something new... You have easy access to other worldviews and not just what someone else chose for you... You are capable to find out different points of view about something that has happened... And, an infinity of possibilities.
This article is a result of The Information Age in human history.
Many criticize the new way how society is living... They take problems like fake news or things like that... But, the allegation that internet is the responsible for fake news is untrue, this always happened during human history.
It's funny to see how the traditional media and some politicians constantly criticize the internet with screams and grunts, saying that everything here are fake news... Although, if we look at what happens during the years, we will notice that the accusers are the real responsible for what they condemn.
Well, leaving subjects from other articles aside... Let's go to the article title: Why Should You Learn How to Ask the Right Questions?
When we gain easily and practical access to any information, a big universe of information and knowledge began to flow by being shared... Photos, videos, texts, books... All this, with just "Okay Google, open YouTube".
If you google right now, "what is an article", you will have about 4 billion results in 0.53 seconds... How fast is it? I have no idea... But, if I google it... Probably I'll have some notion what it means.
Like you already have noticed, Google uses some parameters to raking some answers/sites who will be answering you, faster.
However, this is just a basic tool that usually it isn't so useful for you to go deeply in the subject... And, is here where the power to make questions come.
Actually, you are able to learn ANYTHING on the internet and, also, in different ways. Many from "Z generation" call Google and YouTube by teacher... After all, many times, we look for things that we can not understand during class at these platforms.
The amount of possibilities that you can learn new subjects are infinity... And, this can be represented when you look for something on the internet... Just take a look at how many results shows when I googled "what is an article".
This creates a counterpoint, I don't consider as a problem but as an obvious result of something decentralizes... Kind of, you have an ocean of information only about one field, and you get lost in all this water.
And, it creates a good deal of useless information that you don't want to.
Right now, I can think of two different ways, for you avoid this counterpoint when you start to learn new knowledge on the internet.
The first one is buy courses that people sell on the internet... I truly believe that you can learn anything on the internet for FREE... However, all useless and random information you will find out while you are swimming in the sea, are like waves that can make you spent more time and get tired.
So, one solution to avoid it, is find out some course of someone known at the study field that you wanna learn, pay for all the information and knowledge... Analogous to that is like to buy an yacht and navigate instead of swimming.
It can be using to books and any other material that are paid... And well, even if we compare the costs of it to a school of college... Are laughter...
On the other hand, the second option and what I usually do is make the right questions.
The abilities to know how to do the right question to Google is priceless... Maybe, I should create a course/e-book telling all the technics to make questions to Google... Don't underestimate me, one day I may be famous with it, haha.
Anyway... When we develop the skill to google what we really want to know, we get out of a big and random information sea that can be useful or not... And we transform in a couple of cold water ready to be drinking in the best way.
Make the right questions will be a watershed in your life for now on... After all, you are killing three birds with one stone... You save money, save time and learn something new efficiently.
So, maybe the first thing you should look seek to learn any other thing, for now on, is make the right quest that can lead you to achieve easily your goals... Or any other thing... In other words, in this way, you will have to build your own ship and navigate with "safety" in information sea.
Be aware, this skill can be useful to other things in your life as professional, academic and any other kind... Just take a look at the most interesting people, they usually make the most interesting questions...
Recapitulating, you should learn to make the right question to navigate at this big ocean of possibilities and knowledge that decentralized information age brought to humans... If you wanna learn anything without spent a lot of money, different views, opinions similar to yours... Make the right questions is the first step to achieve these new continents.
Well, what do you think?
