    The Parable of the SowerMatthew 13:18

    19

    Those who hear the message about the Kingdom but donot understand it are like the seeds that fell along the path.The Evil One comes and snatches away what was sown inthem.20 The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those whoreceive the message gladly as soon as they hear it. 21 But it doesnot sink deep into them, and they don't last long. So whentrouble or persecution comes because of the message, they giveup at once.22

    The seeds that fell among thorn bushes stand for those who hear themessage; but the worries about this life and the love for riches chokethe message, and they don't bear fruit.23 And the seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who hearthe message and understand it: they bear fruit

    Data and Information

    Data is raw. It simply exists and has no

    significance beyond its existence (in and

    of itself). It can exist in any form, usable

    or not. It does not have meaning of itself.

    http://www.systems-thinking.org/dikw/dikw.htm

    Data is raw information in anunorganized form (such as alphabets,

    numbers, or symbols) that refer to, or

    represent, conditions, ideas, or

    objects. Data is limitless and present

    everywhere in the universe.http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/data.html

    Data is often in the form of facts or

    figures obtained from experiments orsurveys, used as a basis for making

    calculations or drawing conclusions.

    Information is the meaningful material

    derived from computer data by organizing itand interpreting it in a specific way.

    Microsoft Encarta 2008.

    Information is data that has been given

    meaning by way of relational connection.

    This "meaning" can be useful, but does not

    have to be.http://www.systems-thinking.org/dikw/dikw.htm

    Information is data that (1) has been

    verified to be accurate and timely,(2)

    isspecific and organized for a purpose, (3) is

    presented within a context that gives it

    meaning and relevance, and (4) that can

    lead to an increase in understanding and

    decrease in uncertainty.http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/information.html
