The role of information transmission

Information plays an important role in people's social life. Information is the information and news transmitted by all human survival activities and natural existence. The accumulation and dissemination of information is the basis of the progress of human civilization.

The three foundations for the survival and development of human society are material, energy and information. The world is made of matter, energy is the motive force of all material movements, and information is the evidence for human beings to understand nature and human society.

For example, scientific research should not only obtain other people's research results in time, but also publish and tell others their own research results in time. Only by exchanging information with each other can we develop continuously.

In doing business, we should know the market information in time, so as to decide what goods to buy, what goods to buy, what goods to sell and what goods to sell; In daily life, we should get timely information about weather, commodities, cultural and sports activities, work and life of relatives and friends.
