3.1.1 Data and Infomation

Data can be either facts or just statistic. Any piece of data by it self has no meaning. ( it is out of conext) For example 1,2,4,3,3,4,3 has no meaning. Infomation on a computer can either be a sentence or an image that has been put into context. For example if you add infomation to the data it will make sense,for example: Number of planets found the past year: 1,2,4,3,4,3 This would also be in context.
