Abstract
This era is defined by global interconnectivity and constant digital exchange. Now, we are surrounded by more information than any previous generation. However, as the world strives to accumulate data, statistics, and content, a new question arises. We must ask ourselves, are we actually harnessing knowledge, or simply collecting data?
The distinction between these is more important than ever before. There might be an abundance of information, but knowledge is the transformative force that propels societies forward. It is neither static nor disposable. It is not merely something that is stored in databases, or recalled in exams. Knowledge is dynamic, alive, and is a deeply human characteristic. To understand its true value, we must think beyond information, and consider knowledge as if it were a powerful form of energy.
