From where do we get information or knowledge? Explain.

. Information : is a set of data that is processed in a meaningful way according to the given requirement. It is processed, structured, or presented in a given context to make it meaningful and useful.

Information assigns meaning and improves the reliability of the data. It helps to ensure undesirability and reduces uncertainty. Therefore, when the data is transformed into information, it never has any useless details. It includes data that possess context, relevance, and purpose. It also involves the manipulation of raw data which eventually becomes knowledge.

Knowledge: is a combination of information, experience, and insight that helps the individual or the organization. It is linked to doing and implies know-how and understanding. Knowledge is possessed by each individual and is an outcome of his or her experience. It also covers the norms to evaluates new inputs from his surroundings.

It provides all the necessary data.

Meaningful and useful for the decision-making process.

Involves communication and reception Information

It reduces uncertainties and estimates to take action.

Example of information:

Look at the examples given for data:

4,8,12,16

Dog, cat, cow, cockatoo

161.2, 175.3, 166.4, 164.7, 169.3

Only when we assign a context or meaning that’s when the data become inform.

Example of Knowledge

If you apply this information to gain further knowledge, we could say that:

4, 8, 16 and 24 are the first four answers in the 4 x table (because the 4 x table starts at three and goes up in threes the 5 x table must start at five and go up in fives)
