In the ancient times, getting knowledge was like finding a needle in a haystack; however, the people would learn more than we do, because we are on our phone most of the time for entertainment. To reduce time wasting for watching unfruitful things, we have to watch education videos like this.
The availability of education resources is more abundant than ever before, but taking the advantage of it, is it's minimum.
