Q&A with Richard Saul Wurman ~ “At a sprightly 77 years, Mr Wurman is the author of scores of books on technology and design, and is credited with having coined the term “information architect”. During the interview, he was true to his eccentric, irascible self, which has inspried many to his causes. “We can’t make use of success or failure from one place or another because we have no common language,” he says metaphorically. “We also have no common language in medicine. We have very few common languages,” he says. “You need common filters. In all this big data, you need filters, because often innovation comes from this filter, because you can see a pattern. And I’m interested in those patterns.””
