However, sharing information (as it can be loosely described in the vernacular), is the concept that was lost and is being rediscovered. You may call it outsourcing, or wikinomics, but I do believe people create value in a compound-interest kind of way when the value is re-inserted into society (yeah pretty much open source preaching there) instead of being stripped away from it and kept in some virtual vault somewhere. The trickle-down effect works as a great descriptor in both cases, whether it is observed in a system where things are being stripped away, or whether that system is one where things are being added to. And, since I love to hate clichés, it all comes out in the wash.
