Famous Last Words: You’re not done learning
The author argues that graduation is not the end of learning, but rather a new beginning, as the information age provides unprecedented access to knowledge and history. The author emphasizes the importance of continued learning to stay informed and create positive change.
As graduation approaches, many students feel a sense of finality, but learning shouldn't stop there. The information age has made it easier than ever to access knowledge and history, with a repository of human knowledge available in everyone's pockets. With this 'great power' comes 'great responsibility' to use it and continue learning. The rise of anti-intellectualism and generative artificial intelligence threatens this advantage, making it more important than ever to stay informed. Lack of information leads to a lack of action, and a lack of change. If you have the means to keep learning, it's essential to do so, not just for personal benefit, but for the impact it has on the next generation.
