Data and Information for Computers

Computing · Artificial Intelligence · conceptual

What data is: information that computers use — numbers, words, pictures, sounds; everything a computer knows comes from data that people give it

What mastery looks like

  • Define data as information stored in a computer (numbers, text, images, sounds)
  • Give at least three examples of data they create every day (photos, messages, search queries)
  • Explain that a computer only knows what it has been given — it has no knowledge of its own

Check your understanding

Could Data and Information for Computers explain what 'data' means and give examples of data they create every time they use a phone or computer?
