  • Abstract
    In my paper, human communication is placed into the center of informatics. The typical schema of elementary communication and communication in information systems is discussed by natural and formal schemas. The schemas are used to explain the main characteristics of the epochs of the evolution of human communication and the key effect of dramatic change in communication due to the very fast development of information technology. in lows of two mathematical theories, namely Shannonʹs information theory and the Kolmogorov algorithmic entropy, are explained together with their roles in communication. The coincidence of the two entropies on very large objects is proved. The difference between large, algorithmically generated, compressible objects and the typical, uncompressible random objects is visually demonstrated by black and white colorings. The interesting self-interference of random colorings is shown and explained.
