 * Stewart Brand famously said:<ref name = "clarke">Roger Clarke, ''Information Wants to be Free'' http://www.rogerclarke.com/II/IWtbF.html</ref>
 <blockquote> On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable.  The right information in the right place just changes your life.  On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time.  So you have these two fighting against each other.</blockquote>

-But Robert Frost describes the fencing in of property as a struggle in this poem "Mending Wall" The narrator, a New England farmer, contacts his neighbor in the spring to rebuild the stone wall between their two farms. The core question is about the purpose of a wall "where it is we do not need the wall". He notes twice in the poem that "something there is that doesn’t love a wall", but his neighbor replies twice with the proverb, "Good fences make good neighbors".<ref>Robert Frost, ''North of Boston''</ref>

 Norbert Wiener noted<ref>Norbert Wiener, ''Cybernetics'' MIT Press ISBN (second edition 1961) p 161</ref> that information has be tied to the media on which it was recorded. Very expensive when hand copied, and increasingly less expensive as it moved from printing press to the internet. Now the means of recording and transmission are nearly nothing, society is in the process of finding some other means to value the information. Information is free only in the sense that the recording and transmitting are free.

 * The internet has grown up with the morality of the Wild West where a man could take what he wanted and do with it as he pleased.
 * Money has value as wealth only to the extent that it can be converted into goods or services. Just as money only has value to society when it is in motion, so to with information. Stored in a dusty book in a library the information has no use. It must be applied to have value.
-* People change to adapt to their environment. The farmers of the middle ages became the industrial worker of the industrial age  and now must become the information worker of the information age. We're headed to an age where people will be programmed by the AI that predicts the future and builds the systems for people that make that future happen. The grandchild is teaching the grandmother how to use their smartphone.
