I am working in IT since last 20 years and notice it all the time. Information has value in the sense that it lets you do things as a result of your having information. And not do things as a result of your not having information. But this value is not something we can impute to information per se. This is why IT systems by themselves have no value; value is derived from adoption, from usage. Yes I totally agree. I am working in IT since last 20 years and notice it all the time.

Sometimes people find it only too easy to miss the forest for the trees, the ends for the means, the product for the mechanism, the meaning for the data.
