Infrastructure knowledge can refer to the relation between data, information, knowledge and wisdom. This pyramidal hierarchy defined by Weinberger explains how data can become wisdom, even though it does not necessarily reflects the way the new era interprets information. When a lot of data is presented to us without any structure, that data becomes senseless and irrelevant; however, data put together in relevant manner develop into coordinated information. A well put together information can be defined as knowledge and since knowledge could be interpreted different depending on the subject matter, knowledge itself can be vague and meaningless.
As data and information become more and more available, a sense of information overload has developed over time. The technological advances have enabled information processing services to ensure the availability of a wide range of information. As mentioned in the reading, “…too much information can hurt our ability to think…”, which can clearly relate to our daily life, where everybody uses search engines, like google, to answer the easiest questions instead of analyzing it and doing research about it.
As information technology evolves, it is becoming hard to process all the information we receive, and sometimes our knowledge is not expanding to understand the world.
