How much Smarter is the bowling ball compared to the pins?
The idea that knowledge is power is a misnomer. Power emanates from money and control of that money. A small percentage of our population make the economic decisions for all of us whether we agree to it or not. The idea of knowledge being an obstacle to gainful employment has been repeated so often that this myth now is believed to be a fact. This what is meant by the statement that knowledge in't power. This small group of powerful individuals have the ability to influence the public that they their lack of education is what is holding them back from living in moderate comfort. The fact is that they have prospered during this time in history using technology as their argument. Thy say if you get educated in these areas then you will get a high paying job yet they don't seem to exist. So these people of power again turn to and blame the educational system for not preparing their students for the work environment.
Knowledge is important everyone but it is not POWER!
