When first reading this task I wasn’t sure what was meant by ‘information ecology’. I knew the meaning of ‘information’ and the meaning of ‘ecology’ but looking at my meanings it is a process of trying to combine the two.
I know information is communication, news, knowledge, etc. and ecology is a growing root system so information ecology could be described as the internet as it is a growing communication system with different root systems.
It is an interesting way to describe the internet as ‘information ecology’ as it seems to be a never ending growing organism which has both visible and hidden roots. Luckily amongst all this information are blooming flowers which bring so much joy and happiness to users.
