Some basic reading on the infosphere

I highly recommend checking out the source I added (The information). The library should have it, and if not, I can let you borrow my copy for a few days. Also, I felt it was necessary to define what information is. I'm not sure what class reading this was in, but I remember someone saying that the term information is not in most books' indices. It is for this reason that I started to add a section that would define what information is. After all, to talk about a library full of books we need to know what books are; we need to know what information is in this massive library of the infosphere. Gleick talks greatly about it as well (not to over use that source, but it is highly useful!). -JYoung

Good research and start on neutral tone. Reformatting some longer sections (e.g. origins under definition) with subheads/bullets might help break up the content into more digestable sections for readers. Pop culture is interesting, but might be better as it's own section. Remember to include your lead at the very top and fully cite your references (not just link/title)
