The Value and Cost of a Vital Resource

Trevor J. Bentley

Chapter 3 in Making Information Systems Work, 1981, pp 23-28 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Even the most primitive man relied on information to survive. To consider survival without information is akin to thinking of surviving without food, water and protection. The basic ways we have of collecting information are our senses: touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight. These five senses all feed information to our brain about our surroundings. Of all the animals, only man has developed the ability to communicate beyond the distance he can see and hear.
