Consider what knowledge is. It's information. It is fact. It is
trivia. It is the aggregation of loose threads assembling interest.
It is also imagination. Consideration. And the cognitive processes
of discovery and research.
Knowledge is also a noun, and as such articulates a notion of
completeness.
Knowledge therefore is a statement, requiring only the removal of
dilution. It demands perspective. It hovers above information,
swirls through cognitive activities and rebounds from forming
perspective, frenetic and assured.
Knowledge in the formation of perspective remains common as a
component within our psyche. Insisting either avoidance or
submission, develop over time into profound cognitive mechanisms of
motive, reason & measure. Perspective, therefore, is
conditional - assisting in our immediate scope of need, fear,
accountability.
Consider the scope we currently enjoy today as the information
superhighway, the Internet. It is becoming a perspective formed
through a variety of hosts. Though identifying information as fact,
remain reliant on the mechanisms of aggregation - indexing the
process of asset retention. Relevance, therefore, in its natural
state, is lost with its integrity via context and cultural purview,
missing.
Currently the internet, its products, its celebrity is focused on
providing clarity along specific marketing, sales, and containment
strategies. This inherent value, relevance, therefore is under
attack; diluted from its primary goal of disseminating information
- via technology - to the masses.
As communicators we should review our ability to retain these
inherent qualities: Access, Relevance, Context, provide by
undiluted information rather than projecting a cultivated
database.
Over time this approach has always proven fatal to the developing
awareness of relevance and accountability to the world which
surrounds us.
