What is Information??????


What exactly is information???? Everyone has their own interpretation of information but most describe it as something that passes between two people.  In fact to me information is a natural concept to the facts of life.  Every day there is some sort of information that is passed between on another.  In school we learn and study the information that is given to us by our professors to help broaden our aspects of things in the world we know today.  According to Edward M. Houseman information is many things.  It is a combination of what is said between two people, it occupies space, it cannot move without noise, occupies space, and many other aspects he describes.  He goes to say that there are two types of information, the physical and biological.  Different organizations have their own definition of information.  The business definition of information can be found at the following link.  http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/information.html            
Even though there are many different definitions of information I believe that everyone is entitled to their own personal feeling on it and how it is used over time.
