life long learning

Trying to find information on life long learning if you turn to everybody's right hand man google, is an interesting adventure.


If you're a high school or university student searching life long learning, then the first thing you're going to do is click on the fist result found, which comes from wikipedia. However, when you click on it, you discover you can't read that article on wikipedia due to an investigation of potential copyright issue. Which perhaps suggests that there is somebody out there who is currently experiencing the importance of abiding by copyright law. It's an example of the importance of life long learning in action.


So that result is clearly a dud for now.


The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, the fourth search result, has an interesting article about life long learning, which speaks of the enormous importance and worth of life long learning, especially in the workplace. Some of the results of this study is both sobering and interesting. People in low skill jobs for instance, are less likely to gain training to move upward in their job due to not having as many opportunities or support from their workplace. It's definitely worth a read.


On the whole, the results are both relevant and agree with each other involving the importance of life long learning.


I liked the readwriteweb blog. It was easy to read, a bit fun, and the writer's had a bit of a sense of humour, all things that make me want to spend more time on the blog. Which is surprising, as I've never had much interest in technology.


I felt the second blog, mashable, had a bit too much information crammed on one page, it made it a bit busy, and put me off reading it. It was interesting, but I felt more comfortable with the first blog.
