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.

Steve Jobs: The Single most important class I have ever took was calligraphy (Fancy writing)

 When hearing this quote I think of one thing. If a single person is able to present themselves in a proper or high class way, they will be treated accurately to the way that they act. If done correctly when presenting one’s self, or their work, it is almost impossible to tell if they have had a prior education in the topic. This relates to calligraphy due to the fact that it is the English language, with a little swirl. Something that may seem more high class, or professional. This may represent that anything is possible if one conducts themselves in a professional way.  Writing is the foundations, to improving communication. 

Others thoughts:

This course would teach the foundation of communication

May have sparked him to create his own form of communication; apple inc.

The symbols used with in this are very intricate, takes patients to master

It flows easier; it is pleasing to the human eye.

The aspects that Steve jobs took away from this course helped him to go on and run his company. It was stated that he saw communication as a form of an art. Due to this class he create more user friendly o.s, and sleeker look.

what is complex about our class project is...what is simple about our class project..
The complexity of this project is the  process in which we have to encounter. Much like any other system there are numerous steps, obstacles which make this project complex. The project breaks down into numerous different tasks or micro goals that may be harder to accomplish then we thought. When I say this I mean things such as actually receiving mattresses. The simple part about this project is getting the word out, and making people aware. The difficult part is actually making it happen. Micro goals make it easier to achieve our  macro goal, but some of those micro goals tend to turn into bigger obstacles.

others said
-lack of  motivation
- Talking alot, but we should do more

11/3/11 class project notes

Helpful to create a website
- This will consist of the main goals, and how we will reach them
- Creating QRCs
- Gaining a personal story,this will draw in the people wanting to help the cause
- QRC can be used for email signatures
-Find free post areas
-Connnect the facebook page to the QRC
- use the slogan that we created
