Information wants to be free my ass

I couldn’t agree with this more. We have come to value the delivery over the content. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the wires and cellphone towers are very visible, yet seemingly distant and finite. But when we swim through the internet the content has come to feel very close and infinite, fading into the cracks and crannies of the infoscape. This tricks our internal sense of value; a psychological form of diminishing returns, brought about by the medium. Interesting to think of how we value information consumption in a data saturated world, using neurological wiring evolved for a data barren one. (Same as our other appetites, it seems.)
