At present moment it seems that the question is not necessarily answered definitely. Examing the definition of “information” as well as the current usage of the word “Information” the author gives general consideration on them. It is found that the word “information” means 1) notices on matters, 2) information sources, 3) way of dealing with information sources or technique of information processing or devices. He considers that the traditional definition of “information” is not appropriate, and tries to set the new definition, that is, information is the element to give recognition on phenomena. The persons who are engaged in information should identify not information itself but phenomena which information indicates.
