Imagination is more important that knowledge

Imagination and knowledge are two unusual concepts to compare, as they both define and represent not just different things, but contrasting ideals. Knowledge is the definitive act of knowing something through familiarization with facts, information, descriptions or skill acquired through experience or education. Knowledge is universally regarded as truth. Imagination, on the other hand, somewhat like knowledge is an abstract concept to define, it is personal and subjective. It is the mind's ability to create images, sounds, feelings or sensations without the use of any of the five conscious senses-hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling or tasting.

Television was invented by John Baird in 1925 and was at first made from a lantern inside a biscuit container with lenses, timber and cord. The first television broadcast aired in 1930, even though it did not generate colored images until 1958 in the USA. Models kept on to be upgraded and bit by bit advanced quality picture and audio were available because flaws could be determined as imagination developed. Johann Gutenberg also imagined the innovatory printing press after observing an easy olive press. He invented this point and labor saving device for printing same text on several pieces of paper in about 1443. Though all of these inventions used already acquired knowledge, they took what was identified as a quantum step ahead. This required good imagination. Advancements in technology rely on the growth of new concepts to solve problems which are born by imagination.

In our language essays we use imagination to come up with brilliant and interesting stories. Knowledge here plays a small or rather no role here, because if you had knowledge and no imagination then all would be in vain. It's through imagination that we escape the world of reality for a second. Great films come about as a result of brilliant imagination and it's due to this imagination that a movie sells many copies. Knowledge is only what we know but imagination does not have a limit as you can imagine of anything both practical or not. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more dominant than facts. That hopes always triumph over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I consider that love is stronger than death. Great philosophers have the same line of thought as I do and I still strongly believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
