structured data. It provides context for data and enables decision making process. For example, a single customer’s sale at a restaurant is data – this becomes information when the business is able to identify the most popular or least popular dish.1
More technically, information can be thought of as the resolution of uncertainty; it answers the question of "What an entity is" and thus defines both its essence and the nature of its characteristics. The concept of information has different meanings in different contexts.2 Thus the concept becomes synonymous to notions of constraint, communication, control, data, form, education, knowledge, meaning, understanding, mental stimuli, pattern, perception, proposition, representation, and entropy.

a word created by a small group of Woodstown High School Students who manage to bring back silly trends such as Pok'e'mon. These students are pretty incore because theyre not exactly considered the most popular fools in town but they manage to make whatever they want cool. As soon as they start a trend they stop liking it though. It's bad for your complexion to be to cool.

Get the informated mug.A word used by old computer slaesmen who've never used the internet, but act like they know shit because they caught thier acne faced son surfing for BBW porn a couple of times, and memrised the URL for said BBW porn.
Oh yeah sure Mrs. Adams, I uses the internet thousands o' times. I can tell you the information superhighway is completely free of unsuitable materials. You need a password to get onto tha' stuff, and it costs lots o' money on a credit card. No such thing as hackers neither. There is just one nerd who lives in a garage somewhere in Russia, and this little device will save you from all the bad stuff an'a hackers.
