If you look up the concept in a dictionary, you will most likely find a definition according to which computing and
informatics are practically the same thing.
For example, the dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language states that informatics is the "set of scientific
knowledge and techniques that make possible the automatic processing of information by means of computers".
Moreover, the same dictionary notes that "informática" is the word used in America for "computation".
Yes, but it is more than that. The definition proposed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organisation (UNESCO) is much broader, referring to informatics as the science of information processing systems and
their economic, political and socio-cultural implications.
mathematician Claude Shannon, to refer to everything that is present in a message or signal when a
communication process is established between a sender and a receiver. Thus, when two people talk, they
exchange information; when you watch a film, you receive information; moreover, when you taste a biscuit,
your sense of taste collects information about the taste and consistency of the morsel. Information can then be
found and sent in many forms, provided that the receiver can interpret it.
Processing information involves storing, organising and, very importantly, transmitting it. In general terms, we can
say that there are two pillars of computer science: computing and communication. In other words, what we know
today as computer science brings together many of the techniques and machines that man has developed
throughout history to support and enhance his memory, thinking and communication capacities.

Exactly, it is the microchip, perhaps the most famous computing device, and although we sometimes
don't realise it, this tiny component made up of millions of microscopic circuits and connected through modern
telecommunications, is in many of the devices we use and is the main actor behind a large number of the
actions we perform on a daily basis.
