1.1 Data is all around us

Welcome to the lesson on "Data is all around us." Data is the foundation of everything we do in the modern world. From the moment we wake up until we go to sleep, we are constantly surrounded by data in various forms. In this lesson, we will explore why data is so important and how it affects our daily lives.

Data is one of the most important resources in the modern world. It is the key to making informed decisions, developing new products, and providing better services. Data is essential in fields like healthcare, finance, education, marketing, and many others. It helps us understand patterns, trends, and correlations that would otherwise be invisible.

This lesson looks at the basics of data structure, and how almost everything we do is measurable. It shows how our familiarity with the language and style of data-driven storytelling can sometimes make us forget how important it is.
