What is Information?

Information is a collection of data that represents knowledge, facts, or instructions. It can be in any form, such as words, numbers, images, sounds, or even physical objects, and it can be transmitted, stored, and processed in various ways.

Information is a vital resource in many areas of life and is used to make decisions, solve problems, and communicate with others. It can be classified as explicit, meaning that it is explicitly represented and can be easily accessed, or implicit, meaning that it is embedded in the context or background knowledge of a particular situation and may be harder to extract.

In the modern world, information is often stored and accessed electronically through computers and other digital devices. People can now access enormous volumes of information from all over the world through internet, which has also sparked the creation of new technologies for gathering, storing, and analysing data including data mining and artificial intelligence.

• To make a specific decision based on the aforementioned three in order to plan the present and future actions involved in creating, maintaining, and safeguarding a process or system.
