**INTERRELATE

sir, since i interrelated my answers in the 2nd survey, i need not interrelate it again?? hehehe.. plz answer. ;))


**QUESTION: for what??? ;))
**Answer:

The things that we input in the computer are data or what we call as unprocessed information. These data will undergo different processes. First, it will be stored in the storage devices of the computer. Then, it will be made as information. But why do we have to process these data? FOR WHAT??? It is processed so that it will be of better use. Everything needs improvement and so thus the data that we use. Another reason is because it becomes a source of the students, etc. And lastly, since change is constant, later on, these 'information' will be used as data again. It's a cycle.

**NEW ANSWER
We process data for it will then be our guide or basis for decision making. ;))
