From birth, a person begins to learn to do certain things, and the process of knowing the world around him continues until old age. This is due to the fact that progress does not stand still, and constantly new objects and areas of knowledge appear in the surrounding world that need to be comprehended to maintain one's own comfort.
Importance of education
If in the last century one education was enough for a person, after which he went to work in his specialty, now there are people with 3-4 diplomas in different fields. This is due to the fact that now in the world there are thousands of sought-after professions, and few people spend their whole lives on only one of them. People often change their field of activity, receive additional professional education, gain experience and during their working career they can try themselves in 4-5 different areas. This makes everyone constantly learn new things.
And while new areas for study appear, the old ones also try to keep up. In the already known disciplines, new discoveries are constantly being made, requiring detailed study. For example, if you compare current medicine and this area 50 years ago, even with the naked eye you can find many differences. Unfortunately, new diseases periodically appear on the planet, forcing scientists to look for various medicines. Also, more effective methods of treating already known ailments are constantly being sought.Because of this, knowledge in medicine is constantly expanding, and people have to constantly study it.
Technological progress
To make human life more comfortable, scientists invent new devices that perform certain functions in everyday life. In order to use them correctly and to know the full range of possibilities, people learn the management features.
If at the beginning of zero, adult uncles learned to deal with push-button telephones and tried to figure out how to write SMS by pressing the key several times and selecting the desired button, now from the age of three, children have pretty good touch sensor smartphones and can watch videos with it the internet. This clearly demonstrates how greatly human needs have grown over 20 years.
It is also noticeable in the transport sector. Cars are constantly getting new features designed to simplify the driving process. And if earlier not all cars had a radio, now the presence of a built-in computer and the electronics adjacent to it is a common thing. It also makes people constantly learn.
