Definition(s)

  • In an information economy, value is ascribed to intangible products that exist in computers simply as “bits” representations of 1 and 0. Bits can be stored, reproduced, and moved at almost no cost, so the normal rules of economics, based on the scarcity of material goods, do not apply.
