The computer is memory device recording every consistent keystroke combination to subsequently be retrieved as a preference. Every keystroke consumes one byte of information. Computer capacity has gone from kilobytes to megabytes; now gigabytes and terabytes. 

Data is raw material existing in any form usable or non-usable. Information is usable data that has been given meaning and which answers—who, what, when, where. Knowledge is applied data and answers how. Understanding sparks synapses making links, answering why.  Wisdom is the appraisal of understanding. Only Wisdom assimilates the future in vision, in design and in creativity. Every other word highlighted in blue  refers to the past or to the present.
