Information has a definite/concrete form whereas knowledge is
fluid and malleable. Knowledge can be shaped, molded and applied to different
scenarios. It can be refined whereas information is rigid.
Let me borrow the language of physics to illustrate my line
of thought more clearly. In physics, there are three states of matters –solid,
liquid and gas—in different phases.
[More elaborations]
- Information à Solid State (unchangeable, concrete, has a definite form)
- Knowledge à Liquid State (fluid, moldable, adaptable to the shape of containers/situations)
- Mental Process àGaseous State (weightless, transient)
