This takes time. While technology has greatly reduced the cost involved in assembling and storing data, and in transferring and storing information, technology has not done anything to make the process of creating knowledge any quicker or cheaper. Creating knowledge still takes brains, thought and time - especially today when there is so much more information available to wade through. People can become knowledge experts for a given subject, which, in an “information age,”means they really are just advanced, perpetual students for that given subject. We rely on these people to help us bypass the costly process of wading through large bodies of information ourselves. As a result, the credibility of knowledge experts is that much more important (and often hard to assess). On the one hand, we have to be able to trust them to give us honest, valid and reliable knowledge, and on the other, we lack the subject specific knowledge to know whether or not they are really as reliable and credible as we need them to be. It’s a catch-22: if we had the knowledge with which to judge them, we would not need them in the first place! So what’s the solution? Again thanks for your input to this blog Respect your leadership Phillip Skinner Hi glad to be here I’m on the journey of residual income discovery meaning to understand that once you spend some time interpreting and understanding a body of information, then you have knowledge.
