Information is data that has been processed into a useful form.
The earliest form of data presentation was probably sign language. For much of man's history information was passed by word of mouth. Amazingly complete epic poems like the Iliad and books such as the Old Testament were transmitted from one generation to the next orally. There is no direct record of this use, but modern studies have show enough correlations of stone alignments to make such a use likely. With the advent of writing, more and more information was recorded.
