    Data =/= Information =/= Knowledge =/= Understanding =/= Wisdom

    Yes there is a linkage. But it still takes aptitude/effort/skill to transform one to the other.

    School should teach us how to access data and information and then critically assess and transform it.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
