Quote by Clifford Stoll

Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.

Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowl

Summary

This quote highlights the distinct stages in the process of acquiring and comprehending information. It suggests that data alone does not equate to meaningful knowledge; rather, data needs to be processed and organized to transform into useful information. Yet, even information does not necessarily constitute knowledge, as knowledge implies a deeper level of understanding and context. Furthermore, the quote emphasizes that understanding alone does not guarantee wisdom, which encompasses the ability to apply knowledge judiciously and make wise decisions. Each level requires a progressive evolution and contextualization of information.
