Modeling the World

In this article, Modeling the World, it describes how important modeling actually is. We use modeling everyday in our lives, whether it is recognizing a road sign, building a model of something of larger scale, or realizing how a computer works. All of these devices are modeled in some way or another, and are made this way so it is easier for us to recognize and decode. In a sense they are all messages. Some models are more difficult than others, such as a complex math problem compared to a simple addition problem like 1+1. All in all, modeling was created to make things in our lives easier and without modeling, a lot of problems would go unsolved.
