We often don’t recognize the value and the role of information until such a a time when we need it.
What is information?
When information is information and not something else?
What is information before it is information?
Does something carry information?
Is information tangible? How tangible?
Or, is only the carrier of information tangible?
What is the carrier of that carry information?
Look up: Semiotics.
In this light, how can information be managed, organized?
And, what makes information valuable?
What is its role?
Look up: Representation and Information Representation.
In the discussion of the previous questions, it is clear that pinpointing a definition of information is slippery at best. It is more like a moving target, or perhaps rather like a moving bullet that can be seen when it is at rest but not when it is being used as it was naturally conceived. Similarly to light, information can only be perceived indirectly, as it interacts with the environment. Light remains invisible otherwise.
