No Knowledge in Book

From Weekly I/O#80


There is no knowledge in books, only information. Information only becomes knowledge after we interpret and understand it.

Thought

The thought extends from the Knowledge Pyramid concept. Books themselves do not contain knowledge because information only becomes knowledge after we actively interpret and understand it. Therefore, knowledge is a product of our interaction with information rather than the texts printed on paper representing the author's understanding.
