After reading Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age, it shows whatever theories demonstrate knowledge could obtain by reasoning or experiences. In our lives, we learn lots of things through communication with others, not books or the Internet. For instance, we say thanks after others help us. This learns from our parents. They teach us through their actions.

If knowledge was learned a long time ago, we would not use a long time. Is this knowledge still belong to us? We may store this knowledge deeply inside or forget it because it is not used in life. Can we say we hold this knowledge?

It surprises me when I watch What is a Personal Learning Network (PLN). I never thought about when I post or ask questions on social media belonging to PLN. Because it is not a systematic learning program. In the video, it shows that we should see ourselves as networked individuals. Smartphones and Wi-Fi have brought people closer connected. I agree that this change has a significant in our lives. We can find all the knowledge we want to know online. However, the network how to distinguish what knowledge is available to be learned by different people. There is a way that I think we could establish a limit system. For example, we could restrict teenagers not allowed a type of search unless they have the permission of their guardians.
