Idea 1.
.
Information theory is the science of information and how it is encoded, transmitted, and preserved.
Subject: Information Theory.
Information theory explains how communication works at a structural level, independent of content. Developed by Claude Shannon, it introduced entropy as a way to measure uncertainty and information density. The field addresses compression, error correction, and secure transmission. While authors like Yuval Noah Harari use the term more broadly as a cultural metaphor, its technical core remains about transmission, not meaning, a crucial distinction in clear reasoning.
Idea 2.
.
By learning context, usage, and relationships, AI systems will organize, surface, and protect data automatically.
Subject: Computer Filesystems.
AI won’t just store files—it will understand them and shift file management from manual organizing to intent-based, automatic organization and backup. Your goal now and as we roll into the AI age is clear, start adding notes in and around your files that describe what it is and what you want done with it after you are gone.
