Description

You will submit two brief paragraphs for this assignment. Consider how you have been answering questions of where you’ve looked for information in the past/where you will look for information this semester. Here, answer the question in one full paragraph. If someone else looked at your sources, what would he/she say about what information is important?

After you’ve answered that question, watch the video embedded below: JP Rangaswami: Information is food.

Answer the questions below in your second paragraph:

1) If information is food, what are you eating? Salad, tofu, quinoa, Twinkies, Red Bull?

2) Do you agree with Rangaswami’s assertion that information is essentially a consumption issue rather than a production issue? Why or why not?

3) Has listening to this made you rethink anything about your usual research process? Why or why not?
