Hello Everyone,

Recently, I had started a LinkedIn Poll with the question "Logically
thinking, can 'Knowledge' be transferred?" and gave three options as
Yes, No and Not sure.

Though the LinkedIn poll didn't receive many responses, majority out
of the received stated 'Yes' which made me think that those who have
answered that way might have missed the point 'Logically thinking'.

My 'logical' understanding is that 'transfer' is an action which moves
an object from one place to another which means the object has been
moved out of the original place.

When we apply this term to 'Knowledge', which of course is not a
physical object anyway, how is it right?

I prefer to use 'Share' instead of 'Transfer' in this case, for
obvious logical reasons. You don't lose 'knowledge' by sharing...

I'd like to hear from others what they think about this, please share
your opinions...

Thanks,
Karna
