On TI data is referring to the minimum capacity of storage that is represented by a bit, so you can have for minimum 1 bit of information or what is the same, the possibility of represent only two values 0,1 that is the base of the binary code or the machine language.

For an instance you can have 2 megabytes of data but in this moment is only data that can't be used right away as knowledge because it haven't be processed by applying intelligence of any kind that give us meaning for an event or that describe an entity; Its only then when it became in information an let's remember that data is storage as megabytes and when it's information you storage in bits.

So it's different to have 2 megabytes(of data) than 2 megabits(of information).
