week 1 Data and information



Good morning, this is the first class for ICT subject in the week of trimester 2. It was on Friday and actually we just have ICT class once a week which is on Friday but there is tree hours directly.  Ok for the first hours on that day our lecturer just introduced the new topic that is we are going to learn. Before she begin teaching us, she had ask everyone  “ what is data and what is information” so frankly I could not answer correctly the very easy question.
ok , never mind I need to learn first. Then my lecturer began to introduce us about the data and information. Also about course outline and assessment for this semester. After one and haft hour our class finished. At that time after studied I understood that Data is raw facts; Data can be in the form of numbers, characters, symbols, pictures or even sounds, it has no significance when it exists in that form. And Information is data that is organized and meaningful, It is used for making decisions, Data is used as input for processing and information is output of this processing. This is knowledge that I have known now.
