Data is given to computers to analyse. The result is information. The terms data and information are used interchangeably, but strictly speaking data is the raw facts and information is what can be derived from them. For example, a list of dates of birth is data. How many of those dates of birth are in the month of April is information. A list if numbers is data. The average of those numbers is information. By analysing data, we can get information.
