Video Clip- Complex Vs. Simple

-Simplicity- Coffee cup is a device, the handle enables you to hold it with out being burnt. A tool used by society to maintain health
 Cell phone- rests on a complexity  with characteristics that are very different

Birth control- complexity, affect society that  changes women roles, they can now make choice in the birthing process

 tea pot problem- filled with hot water, why is the water hot? the energy, or it is sitting on the stove, because i wanted it to be, the universe

that single question is many questions in a the same form of words

complexity is very highly involved, is able to write papers about, fundamentally educational
simplicity is not presumed, too simple! almost non existent


simplicity of a simple kind- stacking: internet starts with binary arithmetic

-simplest possible way of representing numbers
binary- light switches; turning lights on and off in a simpler manor
cell phones- accustom to them working every where
google- making a highly complex search into a simple 2 second process
Predictable, you know what it is going to do and when - they are cheap
building or stacking- the information you can build off of
making a device that is reliable, cheap, and effective.
 simple cheap, and functional... that kind of simplicity causes it to be more attractive to the people/ audience


impossible for the person to understand the internet from the view point of someone who invented the transistor


binary is simple patterns of numbers ex. 10101010101010

one simple question has various difference complex answers

-intentional, scientific, universal, personal/philosophy ( because I put it there... because I want it to be...)



video clip number 2
 complexity leads to simplicity

complexity is not always complicated
-interconnections of species
-simple power of diagrams to make something complex seem very simple
predicting the connection of future response of an action through a diagram
complex problems - simple answer lie within complexity
counter insurgence program- active engagement, and ethnic rivalries

fair economic trade and services ?


  the class project does not have to be complex because it is complicated

not the subject matter, not the ending, it is the people behind the project making it complicated. to uncomplicated the matter, and still acknowledge the complexity

what will be my greatest aspect in preparing for the next twelve days
whats going to be the greatest detriment


The next twelve days of this semester are the most important; finals week. An hour or two for each test; an hour that will represent a whole semester's worth of work in one test. Sounds stressful right? well it is. There are many things that one can do to prepare for this week. Some of the major aspect will be time management, priorities, and be organized in general. Now, when it comes down to time management, it is basically picking and choosing. Should I spend an hour in saga talking, and socializing, or should I spend that hour in the library. Priorities; which information should be focused on more than the rest. Organized; making study guides, keeping a schedule. My personal detriment; being over whelmed, I tend to look at the bigger picture instead of focusing on micro goals.
