1. Definition of Information
Information is data that has been processed in such a way as to be meaningful to the person who receives it.
INFORMATION = DATA + CONTEXT + MEANING
Example of Information
| Data | 21041926 |
This has no meaning or context |
| Context |
It is a British date |
This allows us to register it as 21st April 1926 It still has no meaning and is therefore not information |
| Meaning |
The Birth date of Queen Elizabeth II |
This gives us all the elements required for it to be called 'information' |
