I Should Write More

As the title suggests, I really should write more. Hopefully blogging can become a self-reinforcing habit. One article that recently motivated me was this one from the BBC that discusses "information overload" in our contemporary world of easily accessible information on the Internet.

One insight here by the author is that, "A great curator, to me, is someone who takes such bits of information and transmutes them into useful knowledge." It is one thing to be up-to-date on the latest world news and to watch countless TED talks. It is another to be able to articulate one's own opinions and form information into knowledge. One of the things I learned from my undergraduate studies (yet have been failing to practice) is that writing is thinking. So hopefully by writing regularly I will be able to put together all the information I absorb into something more meaningful.
