The idea of studying "information" was something that I hadn't thought of much before but which seems to already be a huge part of my life.

Evaluate the article
The lead of the article is concise and informative with many links to elaborate as it goes it depth. With very little emotional language the article maintains a very academic tone appropriate for the subject. All of the links to sources I checked worked. Many of them being other Wikipedia articles as a result of the technical nature of the subject. There are several uses of graphs and visuals to assist with the more abstract math. The writing of the article is approachable unfortunately the topic is one which can get hard to comprehend as they go more in-depth at times. There was discussion of adding table of contents for the different fields affected by information theory since there were so many. In all the article is initially very easy to understand with a gradual taper into complexity while being covered with links explaining most key concepts along the way one could spend a whole day exploring this subject based off of this article alone.
