All,
I remember it was back in ’76 when I began to notice a subtle shift of
focus in the computer science journals I was reading, from discussing “X”
to discussing “Information About X”, a transformation I noted mentally as
“X → Info(X)” whenever I ran across it.
I suppose that small arc of revolution had been building for years but
it struck me as crossing a threshold to a more explicit, self‑conscious
stage about that time.
Regards,
Jon
