4. Knowledge

The next level up from collecting information is having wisdom - the capability of understanding the relationship between pieces of information and what to actually do with the information.

This ability is called Knowledge

Consider this scenario: Person puts a finger into very hot water.

Data gathered: Finger nerves sends pain data to the brain.

Processing: Brain considers the data and comes up with...

Information: Painful finger means it is not in a good place.

Action: Brain tells finger to remove itself from hot water.

Knowledge is having an understanding of the "rules".
