This book is aboutInformation Foraging Theory (IFT) , a new theory in Adaptive Information Interaction. Information Foraging Theory is one example of a recent flourish of theories in adaptationist psychology that draw upon evolutionary-ecology theory in biology. IFT assumes that people are ecologically rational, and that human information-seeking mechanisms and strategies adapt the structure of the information environments in which they operate. Its main aim is to create technology that is better shaped to users. «
