The Impact of Learning


We live in a world of non-stop technology.  Click, touch, and go, repeat.  But what happened to actually learning material.  Applying it to various situations, and coming out better, for the ability to truly learn?  While we are getting smarter, we are still staying behind the curve.



In today’s day and age, we overlook the fact that applied knowledge is what is missing in our society. Books are replaced with audio readers, a pen to paper is replace with Seri, and no with Alexa, you can lay in bed and ask for almost anything imaginable.



Learning is so important, but it goes far beyond the technical side of life.  It should touch the essence of everyone to bring about growth and change and a new way of thinking about life. 



The more we rely on technology, the easier it becomes to replace humans. * Rant over*



I was never much for school, and even less for the notion of learning.  Fast forward 20 years, and now in a doctoral program, I am learning all that I can, so I can share the information; specifically, how to communicate.  In a world where communication is becoming a lost art, I’ve learned that the ability to effectively talk to people to express a feeling or thought is like music to my ears.  The impact of learning on my life has completely shaken my roots to the core and helped me develop a solid path in academia.  My goal is to attain the highest honor in learning; which is to teach others this lost language of communication.
