Abstract

Information exists when it is being copied-a rather important notion-think of bits, DNA and lottery. This concept is highlighted by Shannon's classical paper on Information theory which describes a mathematical theory of communication, communication being equal to the copying of information. The second leading notion is that the copying process only works when agreements have been made. Actually, everything we do with computers is based on agreements among people- often in the form of standards.
