[Thoughts on life]Build my own databse

Information. After industrial revolution, now it is so-called information revolution.
I haven't had time to contemplate about what exactly information is about. As computer science studying is going on, firstly it is interestingly clear the difference between raw data and information.
I need to internalize of the raw data that is all surrounding me in order to make information. Data is anything, anywhere - it can be a list of restaurants, a bunch of random numbers from the car plate, the titles of books and so on. Whereas information is needed to have efforts. Information is something that I process myself using my own energy to activate my brain.

When a person is young, data and information usually don't have a specific boundary. As the person grows up, the person is getting formed with all data that have been collected consciously or uncounsciously.
I think that is pretty critical to be aware of that what kind of data is being processed as an information in one's mind.
Without monitoring of this processing, it is quite easy to get lost in this complicated and complex so called 'life'.
Though I don't think that to have a solid awareness of this process is easy, it is certainly not a rocket science. It just all the time start with a simple question 'why' and trying to answer on one's own.

I guess so far I've collected so much data, yet I did not know how to use them properly. But now I feel like I'm processing all the data that I've got, and adding new data each day to process for making the most useful information for myself.
I'm pretty sure one day all this data whether it is processed or not will come in handy. :)
