View from the People Wall

Overview

The subject of problem solving begins with an explanation of what the Eameses called “the information machine, “a device for presenting information in fragments so that viewers are compelled to see new relationships among events, objects and people.” The narrative accompanying the images points out the relationships between solving both simple and complicated problems, and then demonstrates that complex problems are solved by the computer with the same logical procedures that people use to solve simple ones.
