Hello everyone how are you???? today I will share to you what I have learned about DATA PROCESSING so what is Data Processing????

      The word data is commonly used to mean “information.” It often suggests large amounts of information in a standardized format. Data may be or contain letters, numbers, equations, dates, images, and other material. Used specifically, data processing refers to a discrete step in the information processing cycle. In information processing, data is acquired, entered, validated, processed, stored, and output, either in response to queries or in the form of routine reports. Used in a more general sense, data processing refers to the act of recording or otherwise handling one or more sets of data.
One of the key points about the term data processing is that it is used by some synonymously with information processing, while others make a distinction between the two. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in their publication Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010–2011 Edition, have an entry for “Data Entry and Information Processing Workers.” Here, a distinction is being made between “data” which is raw and “information” which has undergone some processing: the two are being treated as distinct, with data preceding information.

Large amounts of data processing used to be done manually, leading to many data processing jobs in businesses. These days it is a highly streamlined process, but many people still are needed to help ensure information gets saved by programs correctly.

In computing, data processing can be used to refer to the use of a software application to work on some kind of input data in order to create some sort of output. The result might be anything from a multimedia file to an image, or a text file. Usually entering words as one thinks of them is not considered as data entry, so writing a story using a word processor would not qualify as data processing.

Thats it for now waych out for another post heheheeh (@@)...
