Writing - The Power of Documentation

Writing is the best way to consolidate what you’ve learned. It forces your brain to organize new vocabulary and express your unique point of view. Before you start your challenges, read this example of a short reflection about digital knowledge:

Topic: The Digital Era  

"I use the internet every single day to find answers. In the past, I had to wait to go to a library, but now I have a global encyclopedia in my pocket. However, I sometimes miss the smell of physical books. Digital information is fast, but physical books feel more 'real' and permanent. I try to balance both in my life."
