Forget about universities, if you want knowledge

In the current world wide whirlpool, if you want to acquire some knowledge over something you want, forget about universities and academics, they are already far enough behind you I believe, you have to gather your needed knowledge from other resources, for instance, books, ebooks, people involved in the technology within societies, associations and clubs. You have to check out events, exhibitions and participate in seminars and watch webinars online, read more on publications including magazines and newsletters, and meet with specialists and consultants in the field, you even have to go for consumers and market research firms etc. Consider this, try it and see the difference between the knowledge you have acquired in this way and the one you could possibly receive from a given universities. The current age, is based on self-training and now it is a time for sharing thoughts with others to get smarter and smarter. What do you think?
