 data vs information

Data	Information
Meaning	Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. Data can be something simple and seemingly random and useless until it is organized.	When data is processed, organized, structured or presented in a given context so as to make it useful, it is called information.
Example	Each student's test score is one piece of data.	The average score of a class or of the entire school is information that can be derived from the given data.
Etymology	"Data" comes from a singular Latin word, datum, which originally meant "something given." Its early usage dates back to the 1600s. Over time "data" has become the plural of datum.	"Information" is an older word that dates back to the 1300s and has Old French and Middle English origins. It has always referred to "the act of informing, " usually in regard to education, instruction, or other knowledge communication.

theory computers systems fail

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has wasted millions of pounds on a botched computer system, leaked documents have revealed.

The recruitment partnering project, a £1.3bn scheme intended to enable the army to recruit online, is almost two years behind schedule and will not be fully operational until April 2015 at the earliest, the Times said.

Up to £15.5m has been spent on the computer system but, according to the newspaper, the problems are so serious that defence secretary Philip Hammond is considering spending nearly £50m on a new solution.
