     She's since gone into the value of information, how some ("the chemical plant is about to explode unless you shut part N down") is more valuable than other ("Jim worked 2 hours of overtime"), and how costly incorrect information can be.

     She used the example of a personnel database and how incorrect information could lead to negative outcomes for people, who have a right to sue over it.

     I can't help but extrapolate to *mis*information, wilfully incorrect information that can have extreme costs.

     Oh nice. She was about to go into talking about planning good infrastructure for the upcoming computer information networks - and decided to make an analogy as to how the car boom lead to the US forgetting about other transportation, like rail.

     Yep yep yep.

     On getting stuff done - the context is talking about young people swanning in with computers, copying files, and making things better without permission.
