1.1. Information and information processing
1.1.1. Concept of information
Data:
Are separate, discrete events represented through symbols in different
formats.
In computer science, DATA are considered numbers, letters, images,
sounds ... that computers can receive and process.
Data themselves often don't make sense to people.

Information:
Is a collection of new perceptions, which are acquired, understood, and
evaluated as useful to solve any problem.
Is data which is used and interpreted by people, is a combination of
data that facilitates easier decision-making.

Usefulness: Perceptions that bring new understanding, enrich the
recipient's knowledge are considered informative.
Orientation: All information when used needs to be clearly defined
where it is sent and where it is received.
Relativity: Information will bring different values to different receivers,
locations, times ...

Informatics:
Bit (b): is the basic unit of information, a binary variable that is 0 or 1
Byte (B): 1 byte = 8 bit
Kilo byte (KB): 1 KB = 1024 B
Megabyte (MB): 1 MB = 1024 KB ~ 1 million bytes
Gigabyte (GB): 1 GB = 1024 MB ~ 1 billion bytes
Terabyte (TB): 1 TB = 1024 GB
Petabyte (PB): 1 PB = 1024 TB

1.4.2. File
A computer file is a computer resource for recording data discretely in a
computer storage device.
File name structure:
<File name>.<file type>
File name: should be short, clear, understandable
File type (format or extension): indicates the content type of the file,
(e.g. .txt, .doc, .COM, etc.). Has 3 or 4 characters
