According to Gabler Wirtschaftslexikon, data is a summary of characters that represent information. The word data is a plural whose singular number is "date". However, in connection with data processing on the computer it is rarely or never spoken of a single date.Our world is almost completely digitally recorded, as far as this is possible. All this information is available as data. When the reader is looking for information, he asks a search engine and enters data - the search query. If he receives a result, it is again data that he gets to read. Values composed of bits and bytes that a program translates into human-readable language: the answer to the search query.Man generally speaks of data when it comes to personal information about individuals. Then the protection of the data becomes necessary. No one likes to give their bank details to anyone, which is why they are kept secret if possible. In order to prevent accidental disclosure of his data, it is often encrypted. In general, this means relative security. If a person cannot read the data, this does not mean that this data cannot be deciphered at all. Once the encryption algorithm is known, the secret data is accessible and readable for everyone.Further information on this topic can be found under the following links:Data analysis, data exchange, databases, data acquisition and data acquisition devices.
