insta-knowledge

Knowledge acquired through brief encounters with google, often taken from a search results page and never referenced.

Quite commonly, insta-knowledge is confused with actual knowledge which comes as a result or learning and experience. Insta-knowledge has yet to be truly recognized as it cannot yet be found on Google.

Whilst insta-knowledge can be useful if you want to know a new recipe, or clean out your carburetor, it cannot be forgotten that it does not make you a political analyst, a virologist, or a doctor.....ever.
