Hey,
We being engineers ( Computer or IT ) we have heard the terms data , information , knowledge , intelligence . What are they and how they differ .
During my MIS paper heard the terms again . That time remembered this .
Say taking a simple example
Suppose we have a Picture of a rose in BMP format .
Those being in raw bits stored on some disk is data.
Knowing you have the bits with you ,you know you have data with you .
Knowing those bits are a BMP file and what software to use to see it is information.
Seeing the picture and knowing is it beautiful is knowledge .
Giving a flower or atleast the picture when you Girl Friend is angry is intelligence ;)
Getting something is getting data . That’s the first step.
Knowing how to read the data means is information.
Understanding the information is knowledge .
Using knowledge to do something is intelligence .
Understanding the difference is common sense J
