Democratization of information is a 2010 honors study topic of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. This brings us a question about whether or not we should share all information as to live in a society as a whole. According to a discussion in an official Honor Society meeting, all people suggested we should not have a limit to access any information we want to know. However, I was the only one didn’t agree with it. As a marketing student, I know sharing information is good and only good to whoever do not have interaction with business which is impossible. There is no free meal. We have to pay for what we want.
Few days ago, I passed by blockbuster, a video chain store, and saw “all must out” these few words. I felt sad and worry. This video store was running out of business not because of the economic crisis but democratization of information. People can access any movies through passing from their friends or sharing online. A video business collapses would result more businesses to warp up like no one would like to produce movies or video games would not be updated rapidly. This is definitely not a market that we deserve.
