What good is Knowledge without Understanding?

The purpose of stringing words together is to provide a primary means of communication. Recorded speech and video can be expected to add meaning. In much the same way that a musician composes a new tune, an author selects and assembles words into sentences. In order to keep the attention of the reader, an author might quote from the works of others in an attempt to add weight to the opinion that he is trying to express.
All leaders depend on their ability to communicate their opinions to their followers. From the beginning of time, man has had the choice to do as he wishes and yet many have been prepared to follow the lead of others believing that life on earth is being directed remotely.
More now than ever before, each one of us has the opportunity to access the accumulated knowledge of all mankind. Through the medium of the Internet, competing interests are attempting to mold the future of our world. See: Wikipedia.org and bbc.co.uk :: Disagree with what I've written? Then, debate the issues in a public forum at sp5.org/fora/
Alternatively, type some of the word combinations that I've used above into the Google.com Internet search engine and read how others have used the same words in similar phrases to communicate their understanding of history.

Networking and Learning

Not everyone excels within the confines of structured learning as found in primary and secondary schools and leading to a University Education, which is considered by many to be the precursor to a rewarding career. Networking is a method of building relationships with like-minded individuals in order to pursue a particular objective.

Computers and the Internet

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have advanced to a point where individuals can discover the facts about almost any subject in which they have an interest in a very short space of time. This has come about by previously privileged information being published in the public domain via the Internet. A fourfold increase in the global number of Internet connections since 2002 (source: www.point-topic.com) expands the opportunities for learning.

Technology, Energy, Time and Price

Each of these words will have a specific meaning to most people. Whilst various dictionaries since 1950 will use a slightly different definition, Technology refers to ‘the industrial application of science’; Energy to ‘vigorous, directed activity’; Time to ‘a nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future’; and Price as being an ‘estimate of value’. The context in which each word is used will further define the author’s intended meaning. The challenges for future generations will inevitable revolve around participants’ abilities to communicate and be understood.
