INTRODUCTION
As human beings, our ability to interact with our environment and communicate with other people depends greatly on our understanding of data and information. We must be able to distinguish clearly between raw fact or data and know how to translate this into information so that it corresponds exactly with what we want to tell the world.
Data and information are tied together, whether one is recognizing them as two separate words or using them interchangeably, depends on the usage of data – its context and grammar.
