You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The mere imparting of information is not education.
As a scientist, you're not supposed to make decisions without the data.
It would be ideal if we could have an uncontrolled flow of information. But we realized you can't do that.
When information is infinite, individual pieces of information are worth nothing.
Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all.
Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves.
Uncontrolled access to data, with no audit trail of activity and no oversight would be going too far. This applies to both commercial and government use of data about people.
Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.
Information is not knowledge.
I'm kind of fascinated by this idea that we can surround ourselves with information: we can just pile up data after data after data and arm ourselves with facts and yet still not be able to answer the questions that we have.
