According to my own understanding, Communication is not the same thing as information.Though many people tend to confuse communication with information. Although they are different but they are interdependent. While it is expected that someone must be at the other end to perceive communication, for it to be complete and complemented. In other words, it us safe to assert that communication is perception while information is logic.

Communication is an interpersonal exercise while information is largely impersonal. The requirements for effective communication are the opposite of those for effective information. Information is, for instance always specific. We perceive a pattern in communication, but we convey specific individual data in the information process. Indeed, information is above all,a principle if economy. The fewer data needed the better the information and an overload of information leafs to information blackout. It died not enrich but impoverishes.

Is communication the same as information? Your idea is welcome.
