Knowledge does not equal wisdom, as illustrated by the 'knowledge' science gave us on how to build hydrogen bombs, but only wisdom will never allow us to use it.

Wisdom has always been available, whereas knowledge is built upon. Perhaps the saddest aspect is not the rate of gathering wisdom, but the weight of importance placed upon wisdom, and on those who choose to apply it. That's a miscategorisation.
