“It [knowledge] is clearly related to information, which we can now measure; and an economist especially is tempted to regard knowledge as a kind of capital structure, corresponding to information as an income flow. Knowledge, that is to say, is some kind of improbable structure or stock made up essentially of patterns - that is, improbable arrangements, and the more improbable the arrangements, we might suppose, the more knowledge there is.” KindMadeMightInformationFlowRegardStructurePatternsIncomeRelatedArrangementsEconomistTemptedImprobableCorrespondingMore Knowledge Author:Kenneth E.

“Thomas Edison reads not for entertainment but to increase his store of knowledge. He sucks in information as eagerly as the bee sucks honey from flowers. The whole world, so to speak, pours its wisdom into his mind. He regards it as a criminal waste of time to go through the slow and painful ordeal of ascertaining things for one's self if these same things have already been ascertained and made available by others. In Edison's mind knowledge is power.” IfsWorldMindMadeSelfWholeScienceSpeakInformationFlowerWasteIncreaseRegardPainfulEntertainmentAvailableStoresCriminalsWhole WorldHoneyWasting TimeBeesOrdealsKnowledge Is Power Author:B.

“What I think is coming instead are much more organic ways of organizing information than our current categorization schemes allow, based on two units - the link, which can point to anything, and the tag, which is a way of attaching labels to links. The strategy of tagging - free-form labeling, without regard to categorical constraints - seems like a recipe for disaster, but as the Web has shown us, you can extract a surprising amount of value from big messy data sets.” ThinkingWayTwoBigsSeemsFormValuesCultureTechnologyInformationAmountRegardStrategyMarketingCurrentsDisasterDataLabelsLinksSurprisingSchemesUnitsRecipesMessyConstraintsTagLabelingCategorization Author:Clay Shirky
