Is Information synonymous with Knowledge, in your opinion?

No. Being known by a consciousness and the ability to apply the information is the difference. For example; information on a universal scale is always there...maintained and never destroyed. Information also exists in your computer...but I would hardly call it knowledge. Information is nothing but a record; a source of data for us to 'know'. Knowing is having personal experience with said information.

No, there exists information you do not know. Therefore, information isn't synonymous with knowledge. Information is converted into knowledge throughout the process of perception and memorization.

information is everything both inside and outside your memory. Everything contains information so everything is information but not everything is in your memory - as there are things you've never seen or heard of - e.g. names of 7 billions people.

so knowledge is the information which you can recall - stored in your head or papers/books or even computer these days. You might not need certain information stored in your head - e.g. how to make someone cry badly. You don't certainly need all information in the universe. Yet you better be knowledgeable and that will give you a present of being resourceful person.

I think information is what knowledge is before we come across it.

What converts information to knowledge? Knowing information.

To be informed is different than the presence of information without the knowledge of it. To be knowledgeable is to be informed. All information is potential knowledge all knowledge is information.

Knowledge is the information we know. Of course there is information that we don't know, or acknowledge. But we can't have knowledge without information.

All words, spoken and written are abstracts that don't exist in reality.

Knowledge is memory.

All is memory to a Neurosurgeon who specializes in and is an expert in (pause) memory.

The actual texture (putting your finger on it) of the human brain while the person is alive is that of Tapioca Pudding or Hummus. This "human hummus" material crackles with the voltage electricity of about the same amount as your fully charged cell phone.

Consciousness is the continuing (until your dead) "flashing" or "repeated electrical patterns" that result from the sensory input of your body, which the human hummus is also a part of, like a positive feedback loop (until your dead, when the positive feedback loop ends) of...

Knowledge of Being...

"Gong"

Words get tricky don't they.

To me, information & knowledge are very similar, but there is a vast difference in knowledge & Knowing!

Knowledge is intellectual, Knowing is when, thru Wisdom, knowledge has become a state of Being.

It ceases to be "head knowledge" & becomes "who we are".

Many Blessings!

Stratification, ordering, structuring. That Makes them differ. For fun, just read about the Maxwell's Daemon of second type by S. Lem. If you can't make your way from the simple answers to complicated ones, and can't start in a right way - information (signal) became a noise (chaos).

information is what is told to us.... its just data which can be right or wrong.... and knowledge is what one knows or learns. if the information is acceptable to us we absorb it and it is converted into knowledge.
