Knowledge

You have the knowledge that I don’t have, I can learn from you; I have the knowledge that you never touched, then I can teach you. In Oxford English Dictionary, Knowledge is defined as (i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. All livings or non-livings contains knowledge, they can be gained with all different way, by seeing, by smelling, by hearing, by touching or even by feeling. In order to share and spread knowledge, we have record them in resources with different methods. From the old ages such as Ice age, we started passing knowledge with speaking, and record them with drawings and symbols on cave wall or big rocks. Then there is papers come on handy, then books, and now we have new technologies like TV, camera and computer etc…

Lets divide the methods in classes:

Natural

Oral – Communication, lecture/class

Written - books, newspapers, notes

Practical – action, moves

Imagery – drawing, symbol, sign

Technical

Imagery – photo, digital images

Audio - radio, voice record

Video – video capture, movie

Webpage – text, animation and all of above, refined as multimedia

As we can see that knowledge is everywhere, take our project progress as an example. Each of our team members has different skills and knowledge, we learning from each other while we working on the project together, we sharing works as well as we sharing knowledges.
