I could know alot about some abstract topic but if it serves no purpose knowing about it then its worthless.

Posh spice has had three boob jobs... What power is there in knowing that? confused3

Fred from coronation street is going to be written off, dying of a heart attack at his wedding....

What use does that level of knowledge have, what application except prehaps for meanial conversation... even then...?

Knowledge is the aqusition of information suited to said person and includes its application or use in that persons life. You can know something but not be able to apply that knowledge rendering it just as useless as knowing the ins and outs of Posh spices eating habits.You can read about her diet but ifyou're not able to apply that knowledge thenyou may as well not bother.

Therefore knowledge is more the application of information than the information itself. Once a person knows how to apply knowledge in a given situation hebecomes knowledge-able.Able in its application more than its pursual.
