I am confronted in my daily work with a massive amount of good-to-know knowledge. To be precise, i am a field technician for copy machines. Every brand and model has its own details like which drum unit fits there and what to change to get $result. What helped me the most is just to simply touch the machine and build graphical impressions of the machine and the dark blue toner carton. I am not a friend of blindly accumulating knowledge without understanding. What uses you a fact sheet without knowing what those parameters do? I have tried such a website for learning all(why does that matter?) all countries in the world by finding them on a map. As a european, it was pretty annoying being asked the 50th time where italy is. I think its not necessary to really being able to find the last exotic island on a map, you will forget it after a year or so, if not even earlier. This sounds very against this app, but i am a instructor for my apprentices and i would never demand simply learning stupid facts, in the field, you will lack the ability having built up transfer knowledge. The rest is written in service manuals, nobody has on hands standing in front of the machine. You can research some stuff, but most of the time you have to combine facts that occur out of the blue in very changing circumstances. Nobody asks you every fucking parameter of such machines. So, dont rely alone on facts you know. I know academic learning is different what you experience later at your workplace, so i recommend to develop thinking and problem solving.
