INFORMATION

WHAT IS THE INFORMATION? 

Information is what forms our view of reality. This is what connects the dots for us from a state of confusion to understanding. Therein itself, it doesn't mean anything until we bring it into use with purpose.  

Why Does Information Matter?

Humans use information to make decisions, such as where to eat or how to solve a problem. Information allows people to connect with one another through collaboration and relationship building. Designers utilize information about users to create clear app interfaces or helpful posters. Good information makes life easier; poor information causes confusion. For instance, a cluttered app is hard to use, but a well-designed website makes shopping simple.

 

Ethics and Information  

Designers have a huge responsibility to communicate information in a manner that is forthright and useful. They are supposed to avoid creating situations in which false or misleading information is spread. Clear, proper information empowers the people, while poor information causes frustration or hurt.

 

                                

The Concept of Information

Information is everywhere; it shapes how we see, understand, and navigate the world. It's more than just facts or data. Information fills the gap between what we know and what we don't know, turning chaos into order. However, it's not neutral. It's shaped by who creates it, how it's shared, and what purpose it serves.  

I'm thinking  In understanding the universe, materialism, energy, and biology must be considered fundamental. "Information" is only a way of understanding, and cannot be considered the most fundamental unit of the universe. this is my perspective.

Is information a human creation?

René Descartes

"Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am):

According to Descartes, all knowledge and truth are based on a process of human consciousness.

That is, he considered that knowledge is created by the mind. Accordingly, man understands his universe in a conscious way.

Plato Theory of Forms:According to Plato, truth and information exist in naturally existing "Forms." That is, information is not a creation of man, but exists naturally as the form of all things.

                               

  Both of these, in one way or another, imply that information is some kind of combination of human knowledge and natural truths.

Types of Information

Information comes in many different forms and embodies many kinds of diversity, depending on its purpose, format, and the way it is understood. Scientific data differs from a news report. Understanding these differences enhances our effectiveness at using information.  

How Does Information Stay Unbreakable?

Information endures as it is shared, stored, and transmitted through means that allow its integrity to remain intact. Whether through a book, electronic file, or family folklore, information takes many shapes and yet remains consistent.

The Power of Networks 

Philosopher Bruno Latour said an idea is "true" not because it's absolutely correct, but because it's hooked up with other strong ideas and systems. When something changes within that network, the entire system shifts. 

How Information Changes

Whenever information is passed, it often gets simplified or highlighted in order to make it more understandable. For instance, a news headline may be focused on the dramatic details and leave out the complex parts. While this may make understanding easier for the public, if not handled carefully, it leads to distortion of the truth. 

The Role of Information in Reality

Information is not only fact; it's a binding and forming force. It is both evolving through time yet stands on timeless truths, and it closes the chasm between what we think it is and what actually is-realizes our understandings and insights into the world and other people. Information essentially covers a triplet: understanding, creation, and connection. Information is both powerful and fragile; it demands being used considerately and with ethical treatment.
