The 7 information process are Collecting, Organising, storing and retrieving, Processing, transmitting and receiving, displaying and analysing. Define the 7 information processes are:


 * 1) Collecting- is the process that grab the data or put the data into the system. Example for hardware, a scanners grab information by scanning the paper. Examples for software, is when a user may use a keyboard to input their data into a bank website.
 * 2) Organising-is the arranged and represented into different formats. This process modifies the way the format seen and doesn't alter the data in any way. Example for software, organising large amount of data by categorising it in folders   to make it easier to use it and store into a database. Example for hardware is, a manager in an office can't find the right document because it all over his/her desk so he may categorise his/her documents into folders so he/she can find the right document easier.
 * 3) Storing and retrieving-this process will copy or save data so the user will be able to excess later. Example for hardware, someone storing papers into a folder to they are able to retrieve it when necessary. Example for software is, a manager may save data of the employee’s phone numbers into a database so the manager can retrieve the data (phone number) so they can use it when they need it.
 * 4) Processing- is a process that alter the data by updating/editing old data. Example for software a system update on a device which put more thing it the system and remove some data from the system which alters the data in the system. Example for hardware is, a school office may need to update their system each year for their students. Each year the student will go to the next year so the system need to update/edit their system so all of their file are at the right place.
 * 5) Transmitting and receiving-is the process that move data and information, between and within the information system. Examples of hardware is cords, cords can connect a device (like laptops, phones, androids and etc...) into another device which can transmit data and information between the devices. Examples of software is when the user is using his/her device, they can connect to Bluetooth   and share data with someone else by using Bluetooth which transmit data between the devices.
 * 6) Displaying- is the process where the data is outputs from the device and view as an information for the user so they can understand what been outputs. Examples of a hardware is computers screens, computers screen and other screen will use the data and display the data as information for the user to be used. Example for software is Microsoft word, word is a software that used the displayed features present information for the user to read.
 * 7) Analysing- this process that read data and transform it into information. This doesn't mean the data will alter completely, it may change the data form so it easier to read to a human. Examples of software is searching, searching looks through a lot of data and locate a piece of data and turns it into information for the user. Examples for hardware is RAM also known as random access memory. RAM is a hardware unit used in computers which can hold both software and data. Different types of RAM will work at different speeds and the speed can be measured by how much data can go into a single unit which can be stored or retrieved in an easier format.
