Expense of Knowledge
I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the expense of knowledge.
Obviously, going to your local library is free (or close to it at lease in some locations) but books tend to be older, and in scientific fields, this can hinder or slow your knowledge gain. College is, obviously, not cheap and very time consuming... not always in the best way. Television channels like The History Channel, The Science Channel and The Discovery Channel are great, but if you want to purchase DVDs of the shows to watch later, they are ridiculously pricey.
Certainly the internet is full of great knowledge, but it's also full of misleading knowledge, and sometimes weeding out the bad information from the good is too time consuming to be beneficial.
What do you do when you want to learn something new? How do you go about picking your tools?
