love this concept! I'm all about arrows now! Would like to see more group interactions and it moved a little fast, but I'm not one to talk-I probably couldn't put together such an informative video with all the graphics

There is so much public funding in academia for this stuff and it's all blindingly obvious! There used to be a day when academics used their minds. I feel that we're in a real rut as far as university research goes. But maybe this would be fun for a TED conference.

Just a theory but I subtly disagree. I think that information isn't so "broad" because, in reality, it seems like we only absorb so much of it as to *apply* what we actually retain. This should be further broken down into retained knowledge, acquired knowledge, and knowledge comprehension. From there we assimilate into knowledge, directly our information as a singular point that is rather simple. Picture-wise, I would make the "knowledge" a large box and the "information" gradually smaller boxes that include one of the three types of knowledge's gained. Thoughts?

"about the the relationship": Is there any significance in the repetition?
