Task 2 Lifelong Learning

The movie, or should I say slides, 7 ½ habits for lifelong learners, was not what I expected. The points made are quite logical and thought provoking.
The technology blogs readwriteweb.com or mashable.com are a mine field of information. Great when you know what you need otherwise they are fantastic time wasters: there is so much information and side tracks that life can disappear while visiting these sites.
Even on tech blogs I have noticed is that the humdrum of daily life, all those uninteresting bits an pieces, are now taking centre stage as the majority of people using popularized technology have nothing better to discuss. Don't we have enough of our own life's meaningless details without having to delve into those of total strangers? It seems a lot of people need validation for their existence via technology. The old saying that the most interesting people are usually the quite ones still rings true ...  still waters run deep ... etc.
