Mike Hammans Rtvf4415

From the lecture on the 16th of January, i picked up on how information needs to be represented by some sort of object, character, sound, or ect. This makes since because anybody these days can be skeptical about any little detail in some kind of description that may not make since in their head. I know if i hear somebody saying something negative about something i would like them to have reasonable knowledge or a way to back up there comment. (Usually hippocrites dont) For example if Dan (made up name) said, "Hey Mike Your grilling sucks" i would really like to know "compared to what" or simply "why"? I think my grilling is progressively better as the world continues to spin. Thats why there are things like taste tests. Put two different products with the same concept next to each other and have the testee give em a whirl.

We need meaning to why we do what we do or are who we are. Thats the science of information. There is always more information to back up anything. Data just helps us recognize just what it is.

I always think of the complexity of "not what we see," but "how we interpret" what we see in the complex process of meaning making.
