4. COMPUTER
• The word computer comes from the word “compute” which
means, “to calculate”.
• a computer is an electronic device that can perform
arithmetic operations at high speed
• also called a data
processor because it
can store, process,
and retrieve data
whenever desired

5. DATA PROCESSING

6. DATA VS INFORMATION
DATA INFORMATION
Data is raw, unorganized facts that
need to be processed. Data can
something simple and seemingly
random and useless until it is
organized.
When data is processed,
structured or presented in a given
context so as to make it useful, it is
called information.
"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.

7. TURNING DATA INTO INFORMATION

8. COMPUTING SCIENCE
• Computing science deals with the study of both computer
hardware and software design.
• It encompasses both the study of theoretical algorithms and the
practical problems involved in implementing them through
computer hardware and software.
• The study of computer science has many branches, including
artificial intelligence, software engineering, programming and
computer graphics.• The need for computer science as a discipline
has grown as computers become more
integrated into our day-to-day lives and
technology continues to advance.

9. BUSINESS PROCESSES
• A business process is an activity or set of activities that can
accomplish a specific organizational goal.
• Business processes should have purposeful goals, be as
specific as possible and have consistent outcomes.

Ethics is related to the code or set of principles,
standards, or rules that guide the moral action of an

• Data security is also
known as information
security (IS) or

12. DATA AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
• Knowledge Management (KM) is a
discipline that crosses many areas
such as economics, informatics,
psychology and technology.
• KM is seen as a strategy that
creates, acquires, transfers,
consolidates, shares and enhances
the use of knowledge in order to
improve organizational
performance and survival in a
business environment.
