Last class we talked about information theory and how information can be conveyed without meaning. This makes me ponder the idea of whether or not information is actually significant. We also discussed how platforms like garage band take culturally significant and form them into playthings for whoever wants them. I think this is an interesting concept because many music pieces that are important in my culture are parodied in Garage Band. I did not really consider this until last class, but I do think it is sad to see certain beats with the cultural significance and accompanying traditions absent.
