Existential Moments #2: Fletcher Lookout

As an information theorist and philosopher of information I can make the following observations:

The camera captures only a tiny part of the physical and structural information in the environment - much less than what the ocular organs capture. The camera of course stores its information far more permanently and accurately (although perhaps as an artificial electrically operated digital device its lifespan is limited by bit corrosion and technology redundancy to less than the lifespan of my memories).

POLLS:

Does information exist apart from perceiving agents (without some thinking organism to perceive it)?

Is Philosophy Relevant to Science?
