 * What is Knowledge? Where does Knowledge reside?**

Knowledge is individually based. It is shared through communication between people, and gained by experience.

There are two different types of Knowledge..Tacit and Explicit. **Tacit Knowledge** is difficult to transfer to another person by means of writing it down or verbalising it vs **Explicit Knowledge** which is easy to communicate to others.

//**"Justified true belief"**// was Plato's formulation of knowledge, and I agree. If you dont believe in something then it's considered to be useless information that you wouldnt want to repeat or pass on to others. **How do we construct Knowledge???** What information do we accept as truth, and what do we ignore? I think in order to construct Knowledge we have to apply ourselves and be willing to keep an open mind in learning new things that will slowly build, i think by constructing knowledge we are learning and experiencing new things. Ultimately the best kind of knowledge one can have is from experience. Information that we choose to accept as truth is considered knowledge, but if we choose to ignore something then it's almost like we have no intentions of keeping that information stored for a later use. **Where does Knowledge reside????** We always talk about knowledge as if it were a physical thing. We use language such as constructing, generating creating, storing etc. I’ve always thought of knowledge as being the stuff I know about inside my head – but almost as if it were something physical and tangible. Now I’m not a neuroscientist and I must admit that some of the references to network theory simply sail right over me.but, I can see that my knowledge is really just a network of connections that my brain has made between ‘knowledge artifacts’ – which might possibly be the ‘nodes’ in connectivitst terms []
