What is a Computer? A computer is an electronic device that operates information, or data. It can store, recover, and process data, according to instructions given to it in a program. You can use a computer to type documents, send email, and look through the internet.
Data is a collection of facts, figures and statistics related to an object. Data can be processed to create useful information. Data is a valuable asset for an organization.
Information
Information is obtained when data is assembled or processed in a meaningful and useful way. Information is the summarization of data. Technically, data are raw facts and figures that are processed into information, such as summaries and totals. But since information can also be the raw data for the next job or person, the two terms cannot be precisely defined, and both are used interchangeably. Data vs Information
Data
