Information Use
You create, publish, receive information that you never had
before. Social information, cooking-pot information. You
visualise it in ways you could never do before. You move it
and share it and enrich it and aggregate it and disaggregate
it using tools you could never have conceived before. And you
do all this with presence and location and attention and
mobility. You teach it and learn it and shape it and train
it. You cleanse it and repair it and fuse it and melt it. The
it is information.

This is the reason information wants to be free, it's most
useful when it's free. Avoid lockins, adopt standards etc.
Think beyond the immediate.
All software is about
