The Internet is actually one big educational institution, and learning has never been so fun. You get to know ten new facts quickly from listicles, without having to research at all. However, these information lack connections. Without these connections to our existing memory base, these fragmented information is easily forgotten. It gives you a false sense of intelligence, yet your knowledge network never truly expanded.

What's worse - regular practices beget habits. You will soon become uncomfortable with analyzing and thinking beyond the first few steps - and give up on questioning the reasoning, rationality, feasibility and possibility of these facts. However, if you're aware of this, you can easily avoid this problem.
