3. What is information?
Information is stimuli that has meaning in some context for its receiver.
When information is entered into and stored in a computer, it is generally
referred to as data. After processing -- such as formatting and printing --
output data can again be perceived as information. When information is
compiled or used to better understand something or to do something, it
becomes knowledge.
