According to Wikipedia, this is data:
Data-Processing-Information.
According to me, there is no data since we cannot live without processing the data. So data not processed is unknown data or reality (information) that doesn't exist. Simply. So data doesn't exist. And what I am perceiving is information all the time (my
"own" information decoded through my DNA (with a little help perhaps) if I am good or bad, or through
others if I am not so good or bad enough, if I am not self-centered, myself) and this is what really exists, in my secure opinion, because this is what I am (
information). So the only thing that exists is information, so consciousness, that has some type of information. (And therefore that is conscious I guess, only because is present because it is being remembered or, and, recorded through some type of intelligence we call life or part of it).
All was simpler in the beginning, but entropy is always increasing they say eh?
Is this true? That is always increasing? Good to all.
PD: It seems to me that all is merely processing
data through information. All the time. We grow at information complexity and why not beauty when we deal with new information patterns, new "data" that is processed by each of us to transform it into information. And you know, we are getting
old.
