Explain why computers and computation wouldn't be practical without data abstraction

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Abstraction is the process "of removing physical, spatial, or temporal details in the study of objects or systems to focus attention on details of greater importance"

Is important to remember that any computer use binary code in order to read and interpret info. And all the computers use data abstraction in order to identify the type of file that we are using. No matter if we are using a doc file, python script or a java code, any file have an specific codification in order to any computer can apply data abstraction. For example if we have a video or audio file the computer without codification can't extract the info and reproduce it in the computer.

Conclusion: Without data abstraction the computers are just machines, but with this mechanism can read, interpret and codify data.
