Growing up, one of my favorite things in our house was an Encyclopedia set which I referred to often. I remember hearing 'Look it up' from my mom starting as early as 2nd grade, and I did. I looked everything up. Now I still look everything up and it is so much easier with google and wikipedia. I only relatively recently acquired a smart phone and I resisted it, but I'm glad I have one now and I use it most to look things up.
In addition to being grateful for my walking encyclopedia, I am also grateful for the wealth of easy, free information and education. I love that Khan academy is out there and that there are so many college courses available for free online. I love that there are youtube and blog tutorials to walk you through almost anything, and I watch many for things even that I will likely never attempt. I'm so grateful that there are so many experts out there that are willing to take their time to explain things. I have learned so much outside of school and I love that I can continue to do this with no end in sight.
