Books and Knowledge

Books are the storehouse of knowledge. Books transmits it ideas, concepts and stories. Knowledge build on each other. Knowledge is increasing at an accelerated rate. The current estimate is knowledge doubles every 4 years. This mean in a 4 year college program, half of what you learn is obsolete in two years.

3,000 new books are published every day. Books expand the reservoir of knowledge.

Knowledge however is not wisdom. Wisdom is attaining insight of all the accumulated knowledge.
