Knowledge is defined as the information which we believe to
be true and for which we have justification or evidence. When Aristotle said
that wisdom is the greatest virtue, knowledge was a part of wisdom. Wisdom, to
me, is being able to discern information that is factual, as well as insight,
and having a good judgment. This means being able to use your knowledge when
trying to carry out wise decisions. I think that while we are attending college
we are acquiring both. Most of our schooling and what we will take away when we
graduate is mainly learning how to think. If we can learn how to think, and
think well, then we have succeeded in our mission at SJSU. We are learning how
to expand our knowledge, therefore growing wiser in how we will use our
knowledge to make smarter, qualified decisions. I personally think that the
information age has made us more knowledgeable and not necessarily wiser. It
really has enabled us to not think as much and let technology think for us,
which can be dangerous. We are relying too much on the knowledge that we gain from
technology and less on how to use that knowledge in order to be wise about
different aspect in our lives.
