چکیده
Living in the computer and information age, most people are familiar with the concept of digital information. Computer hard drives and CD’s hold a certain number of bits of information. The stored information can readily be transformed into music, pictures or documents.

It is about a very special class of information that specifies and enables its own reproduction and survival. Simple examples of self-replicating information are contained in computer viruses.
