Meaning of Digitalization of Data
The digitalization of data refers to the process of converting information into a digital format. In this digital format, information is organized into discrete units of data, known as bits, that can be separately addressed, usually in multiple-bit groups called bytes.
Digitalizing data involves the conversion of physical or written records, such as text, images, video, and audio, into a digital form. This transformation allows for easier access, preservation, and sharing of information.
