Smartphones and tablet computers are radically transforming how we access our shared knowledge sources by keeping us constantly connected to near-infinite volumes of raw data and information.
Up until now, most people relegated “education” to a finite time in their lives: entering school at around five years old and attending school institutions all the way to university. Education had an expiration date, then working life began. This model, which has its roots in the industrial era, is quickly becoming less relevant or applicable to the way we live our lives in the connected age.

I selected this piece written by Adam Davidson because the author talks about how different things are today. We no longer are prisoners of brands "signaling" us through a variety of tactics to purchase their goods and services. It also made me think of the opportunity as curators to help our customers shop, learn and make sense of all the information and choices coming at them. Intro: "The Internet was supposed to make us smarter shoppers. So why should we still listen to the signals that brands send us?" Here are some highlights from this piece: **The Internet and advances in manufacturing now allow for a much wider range of products aimed at narrower consumer interests. **For example: "I might pay more for a craft beer and a bar of deluxe chocolate, but I’ll be happier than when I was saving money buying Bud Light and a waxy Hershey’s bar". **Signals, of course, can be misleading, and excessive Internet research often leads to confusion. The psychologist Barry Schwartz says he believes that many of us suffer from the paradox of choice — the more options we have, the less happy we might be. The author says, he feels more shopping anxiety now than he did when he bought whatever my brand loyalty told him. **He now says he doesn't have to worry about so many other purchases that he used to fret about. He discovered that Amazon users seem to really hate Crest Pro-Health Clean Mint toothpaste. I’ll buy the better-rated one, but I do hope those ratings force Crest to reformulate or kill the one nobody likes. And I bet they will. **The advantage of referring to other trusted sources online who have already done the research and the testimonials pro and con has helped many of us navigate through the maze. **The author also makes a good point, in the cases where people are complaining about a particular product, hopefully brand being discussed is listening and they can make improvements to satisfy the needs of their customers.

“Your perception of yourself has an enormous impact on how others perceive you.” – Erin Falconer of Pick the Brain.
I believe the best way to build self confidence is by broadening your life experiences. When you work hard to increase your knowledge, skills and experiences, you’ll automatically become a confident person.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. ~Anaïs Nin, Diary, 1969
As you constantly increasing your exposure to life, you’ll build your confidence in mastering or doing anything.
Confidence is something that you have to workout like a muscle.
You can’t be confident at everything. We all lack confidence in some areas of life that we are not familiar with.
