The information is often shared on a network. Before actually transmitting it over a network, it needs to be changed into FORMATS that can fit the standards of the CHANNELS (CHANNEL is a link between sender and a receiver). The work done to CONVERT the information at both sender and receiver end is generally REGARDED as information processing. The biggest challenge to information processing is securing it during that time. Another challenge is processing bulk information can impose a limit on performance.
