Nowadays with internet and courses online we are facing with an overload of information. Results: chronic skeletal and muscle pain by sitting behind computer not to mention unnecessary eye stress, dealing with dirty keyboards and etc....ok maybe it's not that bad, but here's the alternative I like:
Problem: how to learn a subject in the most efficient way?
Objective: fully understand materials and retain technical information
with the most reduced ergonomic stress and strand
Alternative1:
use computer and internet (pros: lots of information*, mostly free *- cons : lots of ergo issues***, irrelevant and noisy info**, not as mobile as having a book**, more costly even if own laptop**)
Alternative 2: reading from text book and solving assignments
(pros : less ergo issues***, mobility*, relevant data**) (cons: need a book for every subject**, cost sometimes not worth the material (if too technical and specific) (what's up with 125 dollar text books?))
Note: number of * indicates importance so health related and ergonomics gets *** (healthy brain is in healthy body)
What do you think?
