Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom

Data to me is facts or statements that represent something. This would be used more in the business would as companies may look at "data" to see if a technique being used is producing the desireable affects.
Information would be anything that anyone knows. It could be data, facts or common sense. This could also be any type of knowledge that someone has learned.
Knowledge to me is mainly what we acquire through learning. You become smarter as you become more knowledgeable and to gain more knowledge you must be taught.
Wisdom is when someone uses what they have learned and pairs it with their common sense. It is often said that they are wise if they use good judgement or make a good decision.

All of these words are interrelated together especially in the world of technology. People need to use all four of these things to better their business, learning strategies and knowledge.
