					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.elearningworld.org/gathering-dust/#comment-2108&quot;&gt;Stuart&lt;/a&gt;.

Thanks Stu,

That&#039;s an interesting point about trust with trusted sources.  Something I taught about in the classroom.  The thing is there is now so many sources of information that it can be difficult to know what to trust.  Therefore I suspect we begin to trust what others around us do as there is the social connection.  We then make associations with the realities of our lives in relation to what is said on whatever source we use, and if they match then deep down that I suspect builds trust because of the logical truth association.  Nothing is as clear cut as it was.  Though was it ever completely truthful?  Now perhaps there is greater ability (though perhaps not freedom) to challenge the perceived truth.

I get the &#039;de-cluttering&#039; bringing a sense of freedom from the chain that binds us to the baggage we carry.  That&#039;s on my &#039;todo&#039; list!

					<description><![CDATA[Great post Gareth !
Personally I don&#039;t like books.
But that&#039;s because my life has involved a lot of moving, and a highly mobile lifestyle for the last 4 years.
I made a decision to go &#039;as virtual as possible&#039;.
This resulted in all books going, and everything becoming electronic - pdf&#039;s, audiobooks, etc. etc.
I even sold the hardware in my recording studio, and deskilled myself in digital audio workstation and virtual instruments (which was a lot of fun!)
I do get your point though - somehow I always trusted the information in books ... far more than reading a website !
Sadly even the mainstream media feels untrustworthy most days - the BBC and Aljazera seem good still, but apparently everyone under the age of 30 gets their &quot;news&quot; from Facebook, and those under 20 get their&#039;s from TikTok ...and now I need to stop or I&#039;ll just depress myself !  LOL
