Information - share, store, and process

While teaching my Intro to MIS class, I've had a chance to reflect on the major roles of information in human life. One thing I've noticed is that information can be acted upon in three major ways; information can be shared, information can be stored, and information can be processed. By seeing how these three inter-relate, we can gain a unique perspective on how ideas propagate through society as well as how the modern computing environment explicitly relies on these three actions.
