Information quality
a: Information ~
b: Food
What: I like the analogy. Information and food, as measured in ($/bytes) or ($/calories),are as inexpensive as ever. The problem is that the quality of the information is variable like food. All bytes and calories are NOT created equal. One page of Gettysburg address
is quite different than 1 page of magazine print. Likewise 1000 calories or Fish Oil is
much better for you than 1000 calories of bacon lard.Although the bacon lard does taste
good.
Useful?
