Steven Covey mentioned once that our age can be called the "age of wisdom". After passing the stone age, Industrial age till the late Information age, we are in a new era.
The huge proliferation of information and knowledge, and the ease of attaining it, raises the bar of expectations that are required from an individual in our time. The set of skills and knowledge that would have been enough to succeed a hundred years ago is completely less that the current required average.
The strong interconnectedness of the different fields and aspects of our lives, the media explosion and the evolution of more revolutionary knowledge tools are among the factors leading to raising the level of requirements for success.
Many of the motivational leaders and success writers stress on lifelong learning as one of the crucial factors for success, and this normal especially with the fast advancement of sciences, specifically social and psychological sciences.
A point to note here is that with the increase of the amount of information available for learning, there is a much bigger increase of 'junk' information. Information that you don't need or that is untrue or trustworthy. Having a wider knowledge and bird eye view and understanding gives a better sense of criticism and ability to sort through relevant, useful and valuable learning as opposed to 'noise'.
