3. Information and Interaction
Information ala Buckland
 Information as thing
 Information as process (inform)
 Information as mental representation
Communcation is a human process with source/destination/channel/coding/noise in a context (this last part gets beyond technical def)
Interaction is state changing process with two or more agents/feedback.  We are most often interested in human agents using channels.
