As a modern spinoff of Aristotle's "Zoon Politikon", it designates not the "political animal" (the human as a being that yearns for social interaction), but the "informational animal" (the human yearning for knowledge).
William Gibson's vision of the Zoon Informatikon may seem more and more relevant each day, but hasn't become reality so far.

It is the basic entity of study in extraphysical information theory, and can be manipulated using extraphysical information processing techniques. Extraphysical information refers to both the technical definition in terms of extraphysical entropy and the general computational term. Extraphysical information is still considered as being a hypothetical and theoretical field of study and it's considered as an essential part for the development of extraphysical computing and extraphysical technologies.
"Extraphysical information will be really useful for the development of extraphysical computing and extraphysical technologies such as for the understanding of extraphysical mind and of how extraphysical mechanics actually work."

Get the P.S.I. (Private Stripper Information) mug.An academic field, basically the same thing as computer science, it's a compound word of 'Information' and 'Mathematics'. Mostly used in europe.
Informatics cover a broad spread of topics, in general it is about data storage, procession and transmission. While it is a science on it's own, it can also be viewed as a meta science much like mathematics for the process of information gathering and processing taking place in all academic fields.
Has the advantage over the term "computer science" that people don't confuse it with learning how to operate a computer.

"So uh, you study computer science?"
"It's called Informatics!"
"What's the difference?"
"Not much really, just the fact that Informatics doesn't have all too much to do with computers- just like computer science."
"Huh?"
