Do they just they overlook it? There are many new, small units coming on the world's markets that don't cost an arm and a leg.

]]> Comment on Extropian Commandments by natasha http://kuehleborn.wordpress.com/2006/10/01/extropian-commandments/#comment-3 natasha Wed, 18 Oct 2006 19:21:52 +0000 http://kuehleborn.wordpress.com/2006/10/01/extropian-commandments/#comment-3 "Information of greater complexity has greater value than information of lesser complexity." This is arguable if one is looking in terms of result. It's cheap to make the marketing/polit-speak argument that if you can't communicate your information, it isn't worth jack, making well-constructed, lower complexity versions of it highly valuable indeed. You could also look at it from a pedagogical perspective, wherein complex information has limited value in trying to bring someone along the path towards being able to understand it. Calculus is great, but it has no place in a first grade math textbook, wherein there would be a clear and primary value in getting the kids just to the point of addition and subtraction. It isn't that I disagree with the spirit of the premise, but can anyone who's read their share of user manuals really doubt that complexity for its own sake isn't a <i>prima facie</i> virtue? “Information of greater complexity has greater value than information of lesser complexity.”
