2003 : I come to the conclusion that professors are wasting my time, so I spend the second half of my undergraduate life in the library, on my own.
2007 : Wikipedia has improved tremendously, so have torrented PDFs. I discard most of my paper library. Over the next few years, Facebook becomes my rolodex, as I work mainly in B2C and tech. LinkedIn is shit for my sector.
2012 : I lock myself in a few months with BloombergTV, to gain slight insight into professional cultures which i avoided in college. Who knew television was actually useful. Twitter has interesting people, but single-threaded chats fail to be nuanced. There is still not a lot of good commercial content on any online social network.
2015 : By now, I have raised VC on Facebook. This was a novel experience. I do not do much for the next few years, as I work consummately on what I hope will be a forever business. It does not work, so I move on.
2024 : I am attempting a decade-long sabbatical, and expect no commercial parties to take me seriously hereonafter ... not that they ever did. However, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other networks now have decent commercial content. LinkedIn is exceptional in this regard ... there appear to be professionals who actually publish regularly. So I gain minimal access to global banter.
I wonder what I learn, next.
