Hope you don't mind this edging away from the title, inkydigit. The cave looks very cool.
I don't mind learning and actually enjoy it. What I think is weird, even after years of this, is the idea that I'm skilled in certain IT functions and yet the need to change this skill along with its changing levels of what matters never ends. A plumber or an electrician might need to learn a few things around their skills, but their basic skillset doesn't change. This is the same for anyone who is paid for what they can do in a specialized field. Not so in IT.
What good is some of what we learn in IT, though? A good example is this cave. It's cool and learning to create 360 pictures is cool and these sorts of pictures even have a limited use even in advertising. But, IT is full of these sorts of geeky useles things to know and the technology behind it will only keep changing.
It's as if the rate of knowledge we have has far outstripped our ability to utilize it properly. Quality doesn't matter as much as it did 30 years ago. What matters is that the new product (refrigerator, oven, PC, car, flashlight) uses new technology. Who cares if it ends up being in a landfill in two years?
