The future of “free” information in the Age of the Internet
Abstract
As we have developed through the ages, tools have always been the key to adding value to both individuals and society. Information and knowledge are the high‐value tools of the present age. The rise of the Internet has led to a preoccupation with “free” information services. This article looks at how “free” information really is and whether we can continue to expect high‐quality information to be available without cost.
