Information

What of our experiences cannot be measured?  What attribute of our life could not possibly be put under surveillance/monitor?

To think about it in a different manner, everything we do, emote, think can be measured in some way: be it language or numbers.  Every bodily function can be measured, and if we choose, it could be monitored every second of our existence and recorded, graphed, and analyzed.

The point to which I'm driving at is that all that we experience, through the senses and mind, is (or can be thought of as) information.  Our preferences to particular drinks, our inspirations, etc are combined bits of information.

What information do you have to add to this conversation?
