Deciding on Information: The New Digital Currency?

Today, do we need to say more than WikiLeaks or the Cyber Intelligence intervention of a nation’s nuke program?

As examples of line extension, Cyberworms, Data Mining Intelligence or within viral messages, a virtual model is emerging in the form of a universal currency.

Think about that. The Internet is often called the Information Super Highway for a reason. Information comes in various forms: decisions-facts-ideas-news-quotes-records-(on and on). As such, these vaults of information can be tainted, distorted, traded, high jacked, ransomed, misrepresented, altered, manipulated to name only a few options.

If we are thinking about this in physical terms, and we considered a commodity, then [like food] if you get too little: you can atrophy…get too much (overload) and you can clog all your avenues and die.

In the above example, information can be tradable or bartered like in the spy business where it is usually more tangible. Information is also the basis for decision making at every level…good or bad…true or false…public or private…big or small…life or death…on and on.

“Indeed, information could be

considered the new currency”

Now consider this; if at some level, a One World Government movement was eminent and immediate, and that information (at a certain level of knowledge and ownership) became an asset that could be traded for an influential chair in the New Regime…How much more valuable would that appointment be than mere paper money? Also consider that with a New World Order comes a new form of monetary exchange…not the dollar or even dollar for dollar?

Is that possible?

Another question; where are all the commodities like gold-silver-gems-gas-oil-water-etc. in the world? These are all these valuable physical resources that could transcend paper currencies. But, how quickly and quietly they could be harnessed, mined and captured would be vital information in today’s world economy.

Today, a client list, secret family recipe, business plan, military war strategy, political agenda, merger and acquisition announcement, insider knowledge (examples), are all forms of information intelligence with increasing value.

Considering where we are obviously headed in the digital and cyber world, will this concept get more or less credible? Just saying?

Last question: Is information intelligence worth zillions?

You decide.
