The knowledge we need or we do not need is available today in print and
electronic media including the internet. Knowledge of everything is open, not
hidden. People say knowledge explosion is on. Yes, when population explodes,
knowledge has to explode! That is what happens today. Most of us make use of this
available knowledge for our survival and work.
Recently my ayurvedic
doctor prescribed medicines for my illness after examining me. I bought them
and came home to see what those medicines are? Simply I googled the names of
those medicines. Oh, they were there! Not only they were there, it indicated
the use of those medicines and their side effects. Even the comments by those
who used these medicines were also given. It was amazing.
Thus anyone can click the internet and get what he or
she wants. All are available – whether it is science, spirituality, self-help,
medicine, engineering, law, literature, music and what not? All are available
on line. Books, newspapers, magazines and newsletters are on-lined.
Communicating knowledge to others and sharing written materials
including photographs and videos are all possible through internet. One can
meet thousands of people in social media like facebook, twitter etc. Getting new friends from all over the world,
and renewing contacts of old friends are easy nowadays.
So it is the choice that makes us to enjoy the whole
world of knowledge. Indeed what to choose and what not, has become a problem.
Everything is available in internet. Who has made it? It is none other than our
own kith and kin. Their ability and thinking power have made the world of
internet. It is the storehouse of knowledge to provide us all kinds of
knowledge.
Teachers and professors were considered to the
storehouse of knowledge in olden times. They were highly respected for it. But
today even they depend on internet to gather knowledge. Internet is accessible
to all – teachers, students, and men and women. Dictionary used to be our
reference for words. Every house used to have a bulky dictionary to look into
the meaning of difficult words. Dictionary contains needed and unneeded words.
It is our choice to pick the needed ones as we do it with internet for
knowledge.
Choose what you want, there is the internet.
Interestingly internet is available in our smart phones also. They are always
with us either in our pockets or inside the lady’s handbag, but most of the
time the gadget is held in the hand especially by celebrities like politicians,
business people and cine actors. Such phones are available with everyone. So
knowledge is everyone’s hands. No need to depend on someone else. We have the
knowledge in our hands and we have to make use of it for our life.
