Abstract
People need information about their environment in order to know how to react to it and to identify in their reaction what they can share with others. People want technology to support this knowing and sharing via storing, processing, and producing information (see Figure 1.1). The new information technologies offer exciting opportunities for individuals, groups, and organizations to store, process, and produce information.
Information Life-cycle. The information life-cycle consists of the production, storage, and processing of information. People produce information by picturing, speaking, or writing. The information may be stored by printing, copying, recording, filing, or memorizing it. People process information by viewing it, listening to it, reading it, or otherwise utilizing it.
