Energy is the ability to cause a change in an object. When objects interact with each other energy is transferred and/or transformed. Energy is intimately related to the concept of matter; it manifests itself in various forms, and powers life and change at the molecular, everyday and astronomical levels. Energy transfers and transformations obey the laws of thermodynamics.

Information can be stored, transmitted and processed in analogue or digital form. Communication requires information to be interpreted as meaning. Information can be stored in and transmitted via different media — such as solid state and hard disk drives, optical discs, magnetic tapes, microwave transmitters and fibre optic cables. (Tech, CfD) Storage, transfer and processing of information is essential for all aspects of life — within and between cells (replication, cell to cell signalling) and organisms (brain and behaviour).
