Informationrefers to data that have been processed into a form that is meaningful and useful.
Data Processing – is the manipulation and transformation of data into meaningful results.
Examples of the operations used in data processing include the following:Gathering DataInterpretation and classification of dataRecording of DataPerforming basic mathematical operationsSummarizing the results
Data processing is a routinely activity of all people. It’s what we do to gain and develop new knowledge. It is actually a cycle. As you read you will understand why.

Manual Data Processing – is characterized by the absence of any machine in processing data.The person involved does all the activities – from accumulation of data, their manipulation and the creation of results
Manual mechanical data processing- devices are used In processing but human intervention is needed to produce results.
Electronic data processing – refers to the use of computer in processing data.
