The importance of having good study habits cannot be understated. Now with technology and the internet age the techniques and research tools are utmost important. There is so much information that can be reached that its authenticity and validity to truth must always be brought into question. I remember when I was a child and someone would say the most bizarre thing, but to give it validity we would add, "I saw it on TV!" As if everything on TV was true. Jerry Springer, need I say more?
Nowadays everyone says, "I read it online" as if that is enough to make it true and valid. The importance of good study and working concepts is what is needed. As time goes on technology will change and what serves to solve the problem today will not be the same process in 10 or 20 years. If we can learn concepts to solve problems, concepts to validify content, and concepts to study and learn, we will have the tools to do all the above mentioned no matter the format, era, or source from which we learn.
I believe that we need to do something quickly to give us all the tools and concepts necessary to study correctly and not just allow everything we hear, see, and read to be processed as true. The more valid a source of information is, the more time and effort we should put into processing our thoughts on the subject content. Too many people seem to be lazy thinkers and they tend to want to hear facts (sports, news, etc) and not many are interested in using their mind as a muscle to work hard through difficult content to come to learn on their own through the information used to catapult us into our ideas, understandings, and thoughts.
