A. Read the text. Then look closely at the image below.

"Data isn't information... Information, unlike data, is
useful. While there's gulf between data and
information, there's a wide ocean between

in our brains isn't information, but ideas, inventions,
and inspiration. Knowledge-- not information-
implies understanding. And beyond knowledge lies
what we should be seeking: Wisdom."
-Clifford Stoll
