DIKW: The evolution from plain data to ultimate wisdom !

Over the past 60 years or so, our human civilization moved dramatically from the plain data era of the 50''s/60's and hence the term "data processing" to the era of "information" and "information technology" where raw data is processed into information that the human mind feels easy with.

Then, we had another jump into the era of "knowledge" as in "knowledge management"  where we move into the concept of knowledge building, sharing and transfer across individuals, organizations and nations.  Knowledge uses information but it is  higher-level  and more advanced than just pure information/data processing.

Moving up the ladder all the way, we will reach the ultimate state of wisdom where it is more than just data, information and/or knowledge that counts.  Wisdom is more about real-life experience, maturity, comprehensiveness, and far stretched visions of the future.  It s also about balance and compromise between conflicting things in life !


What's more !!  Let us think !

Welcome to e-WizDum !

e-WizDum is really e-wisdom in plain English. 

I used this name over 6 years ago in recognition of the need to bring conventional wisdom to the craze of the Internet world and technology wild and alien world.  I have had several runs on this  including a NING group, a Yahoo group and a special domain name (www.e-wizdum.com) ... but I am now dumping all of this and opting for this simple e-wiZdum blog.

Periodically, I will be sharing with you m own  (WoW) "Words of Wisdom" which have their relevant to the business and technology world.  You can share yours as well and I will reflect what I hear from others honestly and factually quoting the name and source as much as I can when it comes from sources other than myself.

So welcome on board !    It is a pleasure to have you with us !
