Knowledge?
Have you thought about today versus a few years ago versus a few years before and maybe even the Stone Age. Is anything different? We are cleverer. This kind of wisdom is called KNOWLEDGE. But, what is knowledge? What does it mean? Now, look at yourself for 3 minutes. What do you see? You know a lot of things, compared to the old times. Now, you might know how to cook using fire, light a stove, use a washing machine, use a shower, read books, use a computer, draw pictures on paper, how to drive a car, use refrigerators etc. You know how to talk to people on the other side of the Earth, just with a telephone call. You now know that the Earth is round. What else? Loads of things are known, but they are difficult to list. Try putting those words that begin with the letters of the word "KNOWLEDGE"

So, KNOWLEDGE has several meanings. But, what else has KNOWLEDGE done? It has changed the past. Before, children used to use physical games as entertainment, and today children play video games. It has also changed behaviours of human beings, like some children behave like television characters. So, KNOWLEDGE has changed us and the society. The main point is how the objects are used. Nowadays we even know that if an object like the television is used for a while as entertainment or news information, instead of watching and getting addicted to it, it is acceptable. So, even knowledge has its positives and negatives. But, knowledge does not come just from schools and colleges/universities; it comes from communities too, like in this image:
