It adds to human capital, which we can't quantify as of now. I'm not sure if we'll ever find a good proxy for how much information is worth as it is an extremely heterogeneous, intangible input that goes through a complex, unstructured, and not-fully-understood process (the human brain) in order to create value in the world that we can measure using money as a proxy - a company's revenue, for instance.
