In a world where information is rampant, data is everywhere. The recent years have seen the growth
and expansion of an economy highly reliant to in the way data is used. The creation, transformation, retention
and application of data is a fundamental aspect in a digital world. With the dominance of technology,
harnessing the power of data has become a necessity in the different fields of society. It is thus important for us to
know how we can form meaning from data by processing and analyzing the knowledge it holds. After all, Data has
become part of future with technology.
