Data & Info

Data refers to raw facts, events, and transactions that may or may not be meaningful on their own. Information is data that has been processed and organized in a way that makes it meaningful and understandable. Specifically: - Data is a collection of unprocessed facts and figures that requires further processing to be understood, while information is already in an understandable form derived from processed data. - Data can be in an unsequenced form, but information is always presented in a meaningful, sequenced order. - For a computer to use data, it must be processed into information that is in an understandable, organized form so the computer can differentiate and manipulate it.
