The difference between data & information: - Data is plentiful & noisy, the large majority of data is not information - Information is what makes data useful - We are bad at extracting info from data. We only manage to distill & use a small fraction of what is really available

And from data to information there’s knowledge. Information is still too abundant, one needs to go over several information sources to get that knowledge. Making connections within information is the ultimate step.
