Impact of Information

- Processing

- Processing is when data is updated, altered in any way shape, or form to give it meaning. (change the original data)
- the ownership of processed data is a debatable topic as it can be the obligation of software developers or the responsibility of the individual processing the data.
- examples include; photo shopping, spell checks, currency converters, thesaurus (Microsoft word does the work for you, so they become reliant on this technology, although it still educates you)
- Who takes the liability if they processed information is wrong? for example, on Microsoft Word, if you type in gaol and it comes up with jail which is American.
- Bias in process, for example My School Website. You can view the level of education, although not the extra curriculum activities.

- Displaying

- the process by which output from an information system is produced in hard or soft copy according to the needs of the user.
- it depends on the purpose of the information system and the type of data that the system stores.
- OLED - organic led lighting
- 3D glasses - from any screen.
used to display data: printers, plotters ect.
surface computing: untrained workers - easy to use therefore its able for anyone to use.
Displaying data requires some measure of responsibility from those who create the display, whether an electronic display or one using traditional methods.
