processes data into edable sizes for kellogs to rebox and sell , due to comprehensive measures this is made up . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.63.83 (talk) 20:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC) The data of the computer have does not authenticity, in this regard what is the precution of the authenticity of data, please guide to all member of your user.[reply]

this page must not be merged with information blah blah blah the term "data processing" is a perfect description of what computation is ie. data is processed any functional requirements can be categorised as either data requirements or process requirements buzz words and fads have obfuscated what once was a simple, direct and meaningful term almost as obfuscated as the first line of this talk!

Obviously, information is outcome of processing raw data. Raw data, such as an Excel Sheet (e.g. including weight and height of students of a school), does not give any information to the owner, while just a simple averaging of a certain row or column generates a processed data that can generate information. Then processing that information, e.g. relating average of two distinct row or column (say the heights to the weights), is a different mental or computational task. H.

Obsolescent

I think most people would agree that 'Data Processing' has largely been superceded by other terms. Jokem (talk) 13:34, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the original thought behind merging this article with "information processing," the latter article is largely about psychology and cognition. Psychology is all well and good in its place, but presumably someone looking up "data processing" wants to read about computing, not about cognitive psychology, the development of the adolescent brain, and so on. Merging the two, as suggested, would be a disservice to people who simply want to read about processing data.
