What is the difference between $$data$$ and $$information$?$

Data needs to be stored in a database while information can be printed in reports, books and journals.

Data is numerical in nature, while information is usually expressed in words.

Data is bits, bytes, characters, and values that mean little or nothing to a human being. Information is data expressed in a format that can be understood and utilized by people.

Data is information coming out of a computer, while information comes from television and newspapers.
