Response to Wurman

I found this article interesting because I had never heard of an information architect before, whose job it is to "make the information understandable to other human beings."  This article caused me to stop and think when it stated that "the key to making things understandable is to understand what its like not to understand." I agree with the article when it asks how you can truly determine if you understand something by being able to explain it to another person. Being able to admit when you dont understand something is the most essential prerequisite to understanding.  By admitting that you dont know something often causes you to ask the questions that will enable you to learn.
