Every time one person gets a piece of information, the likelihood of that information being exposed grows exponentially. It's no longer two people. It's two people squared.

If information ends up in the wrong hands, the lives of people very often are immediately at risk.
People's minds are overloaded with information.
There's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous.
When you're building a business or joining a company, you have to be transparent; you can't have two sets of information for two sets of people.
The thing about information is that information is more valuable when people know it. There's an exception for business information and super timely information, but in all other cases, ideas that spread win.
If we live in a world where information drives what we do, the information we get becomes the most important thing. The person who chooses that information has power.
Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves.
You cannot communicate complicated information to large groups of people. As you increase the number of people, you have to decrease the complexity of the information.
I think that the Information Age is great, but there's a downside to it obviously as well, and it's that false information can be perpetuated so quickly. And it's sad that so many people will believe it.
The importance of information is directly proportional to its improbability.
