In 1940s, the founder of the information, Shannon (C.E.Shannon), gave a clear definition of information. Since then, many researchers have given different definitions from their respective fields of research. The representation of the representative is as follows:

Information founder Shannon (Shannon) believes that "information is something to eliminate random uncertainty". This definition is regarded as a classic definition and cites.

Weiner (Norbert Wiener), the founder of cybernetics, believes that "information is the content and name that people exchange with the outside world in the process of adapting to the external world and in the process of counteracting the external world," and it is also cited as a classic definition.
