In this lecture we learnt about communication and how it can be broken down or affected. We were shown some videos as well of a very reptitive video which would then suddenly change after a while making it more unpredictable.
The term noise in communication is referred to as anything that is added into the information before it reaches their destination. For instance talking to someone over a radio crackling is a form of noise which is interfering, even distortion into the sound or disruption is noise interfering with the information. Another example could be trying to talk to a friend in a night club, but the music being too loud and people all around talking can make it hard to communicate and for the other person to hear which is a breakdown in communication affected by noise.
We also went through forms of communication such as redundancy and entropic.
Redundancy is basically conventional information which starts off further communication. For instance it is predictable to be greeted when you enter a hotel, which then leads on to further communication for booking into your room at the hotel.
The opposite of redundancy is entropic; this basically means anything that is unpredictable, unconventional information. An example of this would be if you were reading a new Superman comic and superman was to kill Lex Luthor, this would be out of character and really unexpected making it entropic
