I don't know about everyone else, but when it comes to any form of entertainment, or any form of research, or anything in life for that matter, I like it to be FAST.
I'm the type to watch a movie as opposed to read the book, why? Because I can watch probably more than 10 movies and get 10 stories in the time that it takes me to read one book. It's not because I'm lazy, and I don't feel it makes me unintelligent, I just think it's a more effective use of time. I know book's probably have more content, but honestly, I'm not really concerned with the finer details anyway.
And research in school, I don't like this old way of thinking "For this paper you must only use books and scholarly journals." Ok.. so I have to spend hours digging through a library, just to find the book. Then I have to waste time reading this book to find if it's relevant to my topic, oh look at that ! It has nothing to do with what I'm looking for, there goes my entire day at the library....
Professors... Why can't we use google and Internet resources? You'd think since life is becoming more convenient and advanced that our methods of research should be too? I can type exactly why I'm looking for in Google and get 1000 hits. Bam, paper done in 4 hours.
I'm a type of thinker that time is money. I don't mind working hard, I love working hard, that is evident through all the things I do. But I do dislike wasting time that could be better spent on other things. Anyone agree with my line of thinking or have any arguments?
Who wants to waste their time reading hundreds of pages when you can have all the relevant information in a few clicks?
