Hello and Welcome
I’m JB, and welcome to Becket U. A lot of the inspiration behind the site has already been mentioned in the story, but I want to expand on why I think sites that ‘curate’ will only grow in importance.
The internet is a vast space. It is constantly expanding, and as it does we will uncover great new discoveries but also a lot of junk. In the past, explorers used to map where the most valuable resources could be found in the physical world. This made it easier to find later on, and most importantly, saved them time.
The volume of content being created and published online is overwhelming. Statistics estimate that 90% of the world’s data was generated in the last two years alone. It is nearly impossible to sift through millions of blogs, billions of videos, and trillions of words of copy to find the information we want and need.
The most valuable knowledge today is becoming scattered and is mostly digital. Between YouTube, X/Twitter, Reddit, blogs, and traditional texts, it is difficult to find these gems in a centralized location.
This project aims to be that singular space for education. Specifically, within subjects that will help explain how the world around you works. Enjoy.
– JB
