You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.
Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.
When a pianist sits down and does a virtuoso performance he is in a technical sense transmitting more information to a machine than any other human activity involving machinery allows.
I am very puzzled by the fact that young people are getting infected again. They don't take precautions despite an enormous amount of information. It's like riding a race car at 200 kilometers an hour. Some people like the risk.
Sometimes in the past when I was going to perform a piece again I would listen to old recordings and try to reproduce the material. This time I realized that carrying around old information, trying to get everything in, and still be in the moment just doesn't work.
To beat the market you'll have to invest serious bucks to dig up information no one else has yet.
So everybody has some information. The function of the markets is to aggregate that information, evaluate it, and get it incorporated into prices.
Of course. I favor passive investing for most investors, because markets are amazingly successful devices for incorporating information into stock prices.
Most people might just as well buy a share of the whole market, which pools all the information, than delude themselves into thinking they know something the market doesn't.
The Asian nation's oil demand is expected to grow this year by 800,000 barrels per day and represents more than one-third of the total growth in global demand, according to the Energy Information Agency.
I think reading is important for a variety of things. I mean, first of all, it's a way to get information and find out what's going on in the world. But also, it helps your imagination.
I'd like to talk about free markets. Information in the computer age is the last genuine free market left on earth except those free markets where indigenous people are still surviving. And that's basically becoming limited.
I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.
One of the great joys of life is creativity. Information goes in, gets shuffled about, and comes out in new and interesting ways.
I think that the Internet - and I do love the free flow of ideas on the 'Net - is like the wild west of the information world.
