Data Processing

Data processing involves transforming raw data into meaningful output through various methods: manual, mechanical, and electronic. Manual processing is slow and error-prone, while mechanical processing is faster and more accurate but is becoming less common. Electronic data processing, the modern method, utilizes computers for fast and accurate data handling.
