Knowledge Creation, Distribution and Sharing

How do you compile knowledge?
A stone age way of this is writing ideas and thoughts onto a notepad. Not to say that this is a bad way to create knowledge, but in todays day and age we have the internet and other resources of which to compile knowledge.
First to gain knowledge you must get it from experts. For example, scientists, doctors, lawyers and even ground workers who who can contribute knowledge that he or she has experience with in that particular field. To distribute this knowledge is to spread the knowledge to others via word of mouth through lectures or people contact, books, magazines, medical journals and also through the internet with the use of blogs, journals, and articles. Knowledge is of no use if we don't share it with others. To keep knowledge to oursleves almost makes the knowledge useless unless we plan on being the only ones to use it.

"Knowledge creates value to the extent we can move it around like electricty. "
-Thomas W. Brailford
