IN THE GLOBAL INFORMATIONTRANSPARENCY CYCLE:

Information

is instantly collected on almost every subject or

activity

Information is easily compiled, probed, analyzed, scrutinized,

jittered, refined, prioritize, studied, stored, and manipulated.

Information

is directly and cheaply distributed to individuals

or organizations globally.

Reaction is immediate to what is there or what is missing.

More information is demanded, no more information
collected

is

Free Fall in the Cost of Information:

The global Information-Transparency

Cycle is critically dependent on the
ever-decreasing cost of information
technology.
