Imagine a bound notebook, like a student would use in school. At the end of the semester the book is full of writing, but in practical terms it doesn't weigh more than it did when it was blank.
The iPod has a tiny notebook inside that it uses to remember your songs.
- karaterobot 3y agoThe analogy that came to my mind was that if you take a deck of playing cards and lay all the cards out on a table, face down, the table weighs a certain amount (the table's weight, plus weight of the cards). Then, if you flip over five cards at random, you have created enough new information to make a poker hand. But, the weight of the table did not change when you created that information.
