Knowledge management, the evolution

There is a well-known transition of thought that has been singularly clear since the beginning of human existence:

• Data becomes information
• Information becomes knowledge
• Knowledge becomes wisdom

It’s that simple.

Over the centuries, the way we store and manage data has evolved in ways that have created a nearly-infinite improvement. What takes seconds to store now could have taken literally years to reproduce on stone tablets in the past. It’s an amazing technological world.
