Information vs Knowledge
Information and knowledge, while often used interchangeably, hold distinct differences. Information is the raw material, the facts, and the details we gather from various sources. It answers the "what" and "where" questions, providing building blocks for understanding. Knowledge, on the other hand, is the processed version of information. It involves the "how" and "why," encompassing not just facts, but also the understanding and interpretation of those facts. Knowledge is built upon information through experience, reflection, and analysis, allowing us to apply information to solve problems, make decisions, and draw informed conclusions. In essence, information is the "what" we know, while knowledge is the "how" and "why" we know it.
