Two films about information
It's interesting to compare two videos that are designed to teach their viewers about information, created some fifty years apart.
Let’s look at two films about information.
The first was created recently by Pittsburgh based Maya Design.
Let’s say I put three mugs in front of you…If I then ask you the question, "do you see my favorite mug?" would you know which one it is?
The second was created in 1953 by Ray and Charles Eames.
…a nervous condition on the part of the receiver…could change the message from “I love you” to “I hate you.” How do you combat it? One way is through redundancy, “I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”
I think, among many telling differences between these two films, it is perhaps most telling what and how much information they choose to deliver about information.
