so much updated information

the year is 2013. clinical imaging has reached this stage:


I went to the library a few days ago to get my books for this semester's subjects. They gave me for radiology 3 volumes published in 1981, 1983 and 1984.

I also got a Hygiene book, published in 1993 which has a full chapter dedicated to "The Polar Climate" and I  don't know what else because I decided to put it on the "will never use" shelf for the sake of its own integrity.

I've been having the feeling that we are purposely offered useless and outdated information so we would have a harder time finding a job in a decent country where the only information valid is the latest not the one from 100 years ago and where they actually have technology we have never ever ever ever even touched.
