The word INFORMATICS is practically a combination of2 broad concepts: INFORMATION and TECTICS. Most of the people 'mix-up' DATA with INFORMATION which is not correct. Data is transformed in to information to become usefull. E.g.: '2000 tons of cement' is a raw data, whereas '2000 tons of cement sold in a market of20000 tons' is informatiin coz it reveals the10% market share. Now, bringing Information should be SMART and TECTICAL with lowest input cost and highest output value. Therefore, the better the Tectical approach of bringing/converting Information, the higher the required goal achievement ratio ir potential. Hence the Tectics of bringing Information (useful) is termed as INFORMATICS.
