Now that I think about it,
'General knowledge' extends outwards and is inclusive of anything and everything,
Including the latest trends or well-known videos of the Internet.
Yeah it's common sense and all
That it helps with keeping you in touch with the world, connecting with others, knowing how to make small talk, etc etc
But even till now I still have no idea of what the Kardashians are about,
Or even the latest trending top hit song. It's usually through walking through malls that I know of famous songs without knowing who they're from, and I don't try to remember most of the stars out there.
Sure I'm not interested, but for a long time now I've been wondering about this aspect of me.
Just reading articles on presidential elections in US or knowing about the Nice terror attack or the Brexit incident isn't enough is what I'm saying; ultimately, you're still living under a rock if you don't know what everyone else knows.
I guess
That in this time and age
You can't just label anything non-academic 'useless knowledge', huh?
