I Wanna Know
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
In this day and age, there is more and more talk about who ows information
|
|
and how freely it should flow. It is currently imposible to place a monetary
|
|
value on information, or establish precedents on who should own what
|
|
information due to a lack of court cases involving it. Not that American
|
|
courts are the ones that have a right to assess the value of information.
|
|
|
|
More in the computer world than in the 'real' world, you will find arguments
|
|
about who should have access to information. Along with who should have it,
|
|
other aspects come up such as how free it should be, what it takes to get it,
|
|
and what price you should have to pay for it.
|
|
|
|
In the past I have always been one to think any and all information should
|
|
be free to everyone else. Recently I have changed my view on this mostly
|
|
due to other people wanting information from me. I don't claim to be an
|
|
information storehouse or anything, but here and there people want
|
|
information on various subjects, and turn to me. Typically this is on
|
|
BBS's and I reply with the answer they need within a day or so. I have never
|
|
had a complaint about this until a week or so ago. My stance on information
|
|
freedom has changed from 'anyone, anytime' to 'if you deserve it'.
|
|
|
|
During a conversation a few weeks back, I was told that waiting more than
|
|
two days for a piece of information was way too long. He stated that it
|
|
should only take one day, and no more. To keep things clear, this was being
|
|
said about hacking knowledge. He belived that he should be able to get
|
|
a response to his inquries regarding hacking within one day, and that
|
|
not getting it within that one day was unnaceptable.
|
|
|
|
If that is the mindset people are starting to take, then the world of
|
|
information is going downhill. Patience is a virtue, I know that has been
|
|
drilled in your head by other people in the past. That being said, consider
|
|
the current state of knowledge. If someone asks another person a question that
|
|
demands a somewhat technical answer, that only a few people have, then that
|
|
is a pretty valuable piece of information. The fact that it came to you
|
|
somewhat quickly and without a price is a blessing.
|
|
|
|
If you want information, and you want it quickly, do something to earn it.
|
|
Just sitting on your ass and offering nothing back to the person helping
|
|
you is your way of saying that you don't deserve the information. If mailing
|
|
someone and waiting for a few days for the response is too long to wait,
|
|
or too much of a hassle, then you aren't even CLOSE to deserving the
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
More and more I notice that those without the 'intel' are the ones who
|
|
demand it to be free. The people who don't know about a paticular subject,
|
|
who want to learn, seem to be the most demanding to get the information they
|
|
want, and are willing to do little or nothing in return for it. These
|
|
are the people that are the most dangerous to our society. They will be
|
|
the first to take this information, and spread it to all ends of the world,
|
|
eventually nullifying the value of it.
|
|
|
|
Bottom line: Since no one can put a true value on information in general,
|
|
use your experience with it to put a value on the 'intel' you want,
|
|
and the 'intel' you have.
