- Answer: Processing converts raw data (e.g., temperature readings) into information (e.g., a weather forecast) by analyzing and organizing it using algorithms and computations.
- Description: In weather forecasting, sensors collect data like temperature, humidity, and wind speed. The computer processes this using models to predict rain or storms, turning numbers into a usable forecast. Processing is the key stepβwithout it, data remains meaningless. This mirrors how businesses or schools use computers to make decisions, highlighting its systemic importance.
