-That certainly is the argument of Cal Newport's book [Deep Work](https://search.worldcat.org/title/908704985). I finally started reading this book a few weeks ago, and that is one of the core takeaways that I got from it: **We have entered an age of post information scarcity. **It used to be that if you wanted to know the things that doctors know, then you had no other choice than to go to medical school. That information was locked away in lecture halls and expensive textbooks behind brutally hard entrance exams and shockingly steep tuitions. But now that information is just a Google search away. Getting the information is no longer a problem. We live in an age of post information scarcity. In this new age, it is no longer extremely valuable to simply be someone who knows more information than those around you. What's truly valuable is to be an expert, someone who has taken the time and effort to deeply understand a topic and master a skill.
