In the world today there is knowledge everywhere we look. It's being taught daily in schools or found on the world wide web. The question is whether knowledge is constructed or discovered. My belief, with my not to expert opinion, is that is a combination of the two ideas. Something has to be discovered in a sense but the said thing also has to be questioned. Look at the pyramids of Egypt as an example; we gained knowledge by finding them in the dessert but scientists and archaeologists questioned why and how these giant wonders of the world were created. Our society has gained knowledge from questioning things and pushing our limits.
We develop new technologies and new inventions in this same way. We don't just say we want something and it magically is made. People develop new inventions and technologies to make life easier and make money. Our society has to keep questioning and learning new ways of doing things.
