Florida State University

I just noticed how out-of-date my blog is. In my last post, I said I was planning to apply to FSU. Now, I live in Tallahassee and am a doctoral student at the FSU College of Information. I am teaching an undergraduate course this semester, and that certainly makes life interesting.

This week in my class, we are talking about DIKW, a topic that seems almost like an obsession in Information Science. What is information? It's strange that an entire discipline exists around a concept no one can define. How can people in IS possibly know what they are doing when they cannot define the most basic concept in the discipline?
