Knowledge or skill

Kevin Gamble on Twitter: "Is "network literacy" knowledge or a skill? #netlit #coopext"
Kevin asks if network literacy is a skill or knowledge - I say both, and I'm not sure you can separate one from the other. If we take that abilities are aptitudes we're born with and skills are learned, then you likely can't have one without the other. Kevin also asked which comes first - which I see as a bit of a "chicken or egg" problem. Should we care? Some people may gain knowledge, without acquiring a particular skill, but it may facilitate gaining the skill when the need arises. As we acquire skills, we gain knowledge from the practice and experience applying them. So, I don't care which comes first, as they almost certainly arise together and in succession in weird and wonderful ways.

How Google Search Dealt With Mobile — Medium
Great, long article by Steven Levy discussing how Google search has evolved over the years to incorporate voice, knowledge graph, Google Now, and more. Also made me look up the word, synecdoche, which I had heard before but wasn't familiar with - a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, as in - Cleveland won by six runs (meaning “Cleveland's baseball team”).
