I believe there is nothing free in this world. If we go for free stuff, we might get an incomplete knowledge which is way less than the basic one. If we thrive to get this knowledge ourselves such as skills, network of influence and many more, we have to invest something on it. Every thing have its cost.
For education that is found on the internet, remember it isn't free because in order to access the internet we need to invest for a device, pay for the internet connection and pay for the electricity to keep that device working. After all these expenses, we get an incomplete or shallow knowledge of education since what we get on the internet are just some glimpse of these education and streamers won't dive deep of those topics.
We can get some word of wisdom from other people but they won't fully share the full knowledge they have. With free education without investing anything, we can only get patches not the whole course that can give us an advantage to have a good foundation .
- I think you took what Op-Mate was saying literally. Even if a person does not study in school today, they still have a mobile device in use because it is a necessity. Even the people who live in the squatter area have those mobile devices. And most of the people who live there are people who don't study in schools.
Given the fact that the purchase of a load on the internet for the mobile phone is made, there are others who connect with their friends who have a wifi connection to get free internet or even charge to get free electricity. It depends on the means by which an individual will do that, especially now that there is a social media platform like YouTube where you can see that what is taught in school can also be seen here. The only difference is that there is no diploma on YouTube; instead, in school, you get that.
That means, in general, what Op may be referring to in what he is saying here.
