Are 27 billion Things Too Many To Be Interested In?
I have always had too many interests. At last count I was interested in approximately 27,000,000,00 things, give or take a few hundred million. My current interests include: instructional design, learning theory, cognitive psychology, cognitive science, music (almost every genre except rap), architectural drawing, shooting and editing video, and recording and editing audio. In my job as an instructional designer I work with many software programs, so I am also interested in web design, graphics design, digital photo editing, and learning web scripting languages. At this time I am learning the Ajax programming techniques and I have registered for an online class in Perl.
Fortunately, I have the only job in the world that encompasses all these interests. When I am at home doing my drawings, even then, I am sharpening skills I can use in the projects I design for the college I work for. Are there things I am not interested in? Yes, I have never been able to discover an interest in German cooking, cock fighting, or chemistry. Would it help if Congress passed a law declaring that henceforth each day would have 30 hours instead of 24? Probably not. A forty-hour day might help though.
