Digital media is any communication media that

operate in conjunction with various encoded machine
readable data formats. Digital media can be created,
viewed, distributed, modified, listened to, and preserved on a digital
electronics device. Digital defines as any data represented by
a series of digits, and media refers to methods of
broadcasting or communicating this information.
Together, digital media refers to mediums of digitized
information broadcast through a screen and/or a speaker.
 This also includes text, audio, video, and graphics that are
transmitted over the internet for viewing or listening to on
the internet.

Q: What is the difference between data and information?
Ans: Data is the raw material put into a computer system. This raw material could be
text, numbers, graphics, audio, animation or video. On the other hand, information is
data organized to make something understandable and meaningful. Information
valuable if it is relevant, accurate, current, appropriately shown and easy to use.

Q: Describe some of the ways of converting data into information.

Ans: There are numerous different ways of converting data into information,
like combining data, displaying data in an understandable way or deleting
inapplicable data. Information depends on the data entered. For example, data might
be measurements, survey results, a document, or photograph. By itself, this data
would not mean much, but when it is transformed in an appropriate way it can
provide useful information.

Complete the following definitions:

Primary source - When data is collected firsthand, it is referred to as the

primary source. Many organizations prefer to generate their own primary data
because they believe it is more meaningful and reliable, despite the fact that it is
time consuming and costly.

Secondary source - The use of data collected or created by someone else is

referred to as a secondary source. Secondary data is available in printed form as
well as on the Internet.
