Jan van Til

Is an Information Engineer:

Heavily interested in and committed to the very human side of information processing: Human Interoperability.
Agree: the technical side is important as well – we can’t do without anymore, but… Never Ever primary.
Instead: it’s all about human behaviour…
based on: the humanly assigned meaning to information signalled to each of us by means of our very own senses. Individually as well as situationally.

Is Convinced that:

Technology serves human beings (that’s all).
Meaning of information continually comes – both individually and situationally – into (human) being…
… and cannot be meaningful – i.e. durable defined at forehand.

Is Focussed on:

The standardisation of meaning of information…
because… that yields the most effective (and efficient) human behaviour in a very, very wide variety of ever evolving situations.

Is Trying hard to:

Create and develop…
insight and interest and enthusiasm…
for the ground breaking notion that every human being is, in fact, a responsible participant in information traffic…
on – metaphorically speaking – Information Roundabouts: continually gathering and sharing meaningful information with other, fellow, participants.
Each participant, in fact, being fully interdependent of all of the other participants.
Why? To make most effective (and efficient) behaviour happen all the time. To significantly help develop information society. Safe, reliably and trustworthy. Do our why’s sufficiently match?
