    I went to college for networking but the most productive class I’ve ever had where I learned the most about the internet was instead back in high school. This teacher would make 20 page packets with the most obscure questions like what’s the weight of model number 62xRG4 (some obscure car part or something) and he told us to google it. We would spend entire classes just searching for information we would never use, but it drilled into me how to go about finding the information I need. It’s been utterly invaluable. Thank you Mr Ward.

      I love this, so much. Blue Links have been the most critical pass to my future, across my entire life.

      Purple links often, too. I can’t imagine surrendering the ability to sift through information with my own eyes and hands and brain.
