Something that was very clear to me in this week lectures was the difference between Data and Information. While many people may think that they are the same thing, they are actually very different.
Data is raw materials and unorganized facts that have yet to be organized. In order for data to become information, it must be processed and organized. Information is when data is processed, organized and structured so that it is useful. Data can be in the form of numbers, letter, pictures and symbols. Once these data are structured into a way that they are meaningful, it becomes information.
To put it short, Data in a meaningful form is information
