### Data structure is a way, how to store data, which is important to us. But before that, we have a more important question.

## What is Data?

<p>Since, everything that we see or not is data. Every business is willing to use this data to increase their revenue and understand their customer buying habits, so they can be prepared in advance.</p>

Do you know every activity you do is measured? Currently, the page you are reading, where you taping or clicking, for long you are watching a video, and which part of the video you repeated. 

Everything that you do on your mobile or laptop is being tracked to understand your mood and behavior. The smartwatch you wear is a tracking device built by the company to track your location, your health rate, and your every movement. 

Whether you believe it or not. Everything is meaningful data for a larger company.

So according to your mood and choices, these large companies show ads to sell products and generate revenue.

### And which company wants to lose such precious data?

I don't think any. So they need to store this data somewhere, In some large storage that more larger than a hard drive or memory cards.

These data are being stored every second. even when you are reading this post.

So as you understand, why storing this data is so important. Right?

But if you don't arrange your things at the proper place at your home, and next time you want something. This is going to trouble you and take a longer time to search. Right?

So placing the right thing in the right place will save you a lot of them and give you mental stability.

In the same way, we need a proper structure to store the data in our database, so that, next time when we try to retrieve the required data, can be found easily with minimum effort.

### The process of storing the data in the right structure is what we learn in the data structure. 

From the next blog, we will start the fundamentals of data structure, so stay tuned with me, if you are willing more of such lovely content.
