A standard model of what Information Technology does looks like the following::
Input – Processing – Output
Now consider the US census. Data is the “Input”, the computer systems of the Census Office perform the “Processing”, and information is the “Output”.
a. Research the internet and list at least 10 items of DATA collected during the census.
b. Again researching the internet, describe at least 3 examples of reports generated by the US Census bureau based on census data. These reports are examples of INFORMATION.
