When talking about a computer what is data?

To us humans, data is raw facts or figures. To a computer, data means nothing since a computer is not a sentient being with intelligence but a marvelous and complex machine which is made up of billions of switches. Data is stored as a binary code, i.e. as a series of 0's and 1's. Different encoding schemes are used to decide how text, audio, graphics etc are to be stored as binary data. Data can be present in a computer in different forms. In a hard disk, data is stored in the form of orientation of particles of the magnetic material that makes the surface of its platters. In RAM modules, data is stored as the state of flip flops. One state is used to represent 1 and other one to represent 0.
