  Landauer's principle and the Holographic principle are used to derive the
holographic information energy contribution to the Universe. Information energy
density has increased with star formation until sufficient to start
accelerating the expansion of the universe. The resulting reduction in the rate
of star formation due to the accelerated expansion may provide a feedback that
limits the information energy density to a constant level. The characteristics
of the universe's holographic information energy then closely match those
required to explain dark energy and also answer the cosmic coincidence problem.
Furthermore the era of acceleration will be clearly limited in time.
