Hello!
This week I don't have a question or an exact unclear point to post, but I will comment on a specific topic that was mentioned in class. During the discussion of the definitions of information, Dr. He talked about how is possible for animals such as ants and bees to create information (Slide 11 of Power Point Presentation). Ants and bees as social insects have an extraordinary ability of organizing their colonies and work; even a sense of cooperation and learning from each other. I had never thought of their daily activities as producing information. Interesting!
I heard this on NPR while I was unpacking boxes in my new apartment, and after reading your muddiest point, I thought you might enjoy it:
