Personal Knowledge Vs Shared Knowledge

“Personal Knowledge is the knowledge produced by one individual through one or more way of knowledge” , whereas “shared knowledge is the knowledge produced by a group of people working together either in concert or more likely separated by time or geography” . Personal and shared knowledge are interrelated, it is often hard to distinguish between them or recognize where one ends and the other begins. I will show this relationship and how one affects the other focusing on human sciences (psychology and sociology) and natural sciences (technology).
To what extent can we prove how we acquired the knowledge we possess? How can we determine if this knowledge is our own, or have we been influenced to have it? And most importantly what is knowledge?

This is evident as their can be two families, living as neighbors, sharing all the levels of knowledge we mentioned above, however one family can be thriving, and the other struggling.
These levels of shared knowledge are the main reason as to which we perceive that we as humans are different from each other, when in fact it is just circumstance that put us in different levels of shared knowledge.

Many of the different levels of shared knowledge evened out and became one allowing us to further realize that all humans are more alike than different.
The internet has allowed humans the ability to share information instantly and in ever increasing speeds, where only a few tens of years ago, the same transfer of data today would have seemed unfathomable and even

The technological advances have made it possible through the different gadgets that we use, to have at our fingertips a lot of information that can be either beneficial or destructive. Depending on the nature and objectives of the person accessing this information, one can learn how to make a bomb and the other can learn about the third eye. One can use it to find an old classmate, while another can use it for harassment. The values and psychological and social nature of the human being are some of the factors that will determine how much and in what way we make use of the massive information.
It is now easier to filter the information we watch or research by looking at different point of views and identifying fallacies, which could be cleverly hidden, in a certain document or interview meant to affect our decision like buying a product or voting for a certain person.
