This is pretty interesting. It seems we struck gold with the invention of the internet if information is as important and fundamental as this author says it is.

This is pretty interesting. It seems we struck gold with the invention of the internet if information is as important and fundamental as this author says it is. I am hesitant to buy in though, as I still see information as the thing which depicts and explains matter and energy. Twitter and facebook shows us about people, bloomberg shows us about businesses. The information is near nothing without the substance it stands for. Still, We developed math beyond the concrete, so I think this guy might be onto something big. And like math, if we can shape the constructs into something applicable, like calculus to dynamics, this sort of thing can be very useful beyond the purely academic.
