Knowledge:- Origin: 1250–1300; Middle English knouleche, equivalent to know:- it could have even older roots from Greek: ???s?? meaning "learned",
Since the dawn of time it has been this power that when wielded has allowed an individual or group to dominate others. Eons ago he best who knew how the animals behaved was the one who commanded the hunters of the family or tribe. The person who knew what certain plants could be used for was the shaman and both had power over others through this knowledge.
Time passes and agriculture is developed; and the man who knows how to pick the best seeds, the most fertile land and read the weather becomes the power that directs the communities. Becoming the leader he gathers others with knowledge to him to assist in the control of his fellow humans and as a result camps turn into villages and villages into town and eventually cities.
With cities the explosion of knowledge happens at a faster pace than ever before. Freed from the day to day toil of hunting or raising food. Mankind now has the luxury of time to spend on thought alone and with it comes concepts like religion, money and government.
Houses, clans and guilds are formed to protect certain knowledge such as stone or metal working from being passed on to everyone. Control of knowledge and its growth is kept as a big stick with which to beat their fellow man into submission.
Since dawn's time power has passed from the family head, to the tribal chief, to the land owner, to the resources manager. Now enter the industrial age and the new power of the mechanized industry. Tycoons now wield the power of the machine and their knowledge of business to co-opt Kings and rulers to do their bidding and the average man simply follows along.
Finally we arrive at today "The computer and information age" our rulers are no longer those who have all the knowledge. The sheer volume has exceeded the ability of any one person to know it all. Today knowledge is available is such quantity that a person can devote their whole life to just one tiny aspect of a single subject and still not cover it completely.
Still the growth marches on. Computers which were once housed in building sized containers now fit into a wrist watch and have a million million times the power they had just a few decades ago. In less than another 20 years you and I will see a computer of the equivalent size of our brain with the same computing power BUT with a 100% retrieval or recall rate!
From world of mystery and magic of our ancestors where knowledge was the key to survival to a world of mysteries explained and magic just as a stage show, knowledge has retained its hold on our lives.
Once only the domain of the leaders and wise ones, we have almost unlimited access to knowledge, yet we have allowed ourselves to be enslaved to a "limited" selection of what is there. Throwing years of our lives into education and the learning of specific skills in order to survive in our societies. Trading life for an illusion of freedom, doggedly plugging along to earn a living never realizing that the power of knowledge that binds us also can set us free.
98% of everything we know today as a species has been discovered, defined or created in the last 100 years! When you accept things as being the way you are told they are rather than accessing the available knowledge and finding out for yourself you are no better off than your cave dwelling ancestors!
Simply put... "Learn, Grow and be Free"
