I'd rather call it "information". Knowledge is one level above that, knowledge is information integrated in a coherent whole. Nowadays it's very easy to find information about anything, but most people still know very little about most things. Confusing information with knowledge and knowing nothing at the same time is why misinformation spreads so easily.

I see it as information being the 1s and 0s, while knowledge is what you do with it.
