Many believe that the terms “data” and “information” can be used interchangeably and mean the same. However, there is a subtle difference between the two.
Data can be a number, symbol, character, word, and if not put into context, individual pieces of data mean nothing to humans.
On the other hand, information is a data put into context. Information is utilised by humans in some significant way. A good example of information would be a computer. A computer uses programming scripts, formulas, or software applications to turn data into information.
