畅销书《大趋势》（Megatrends）的作者约翰·奈瑟用了整整一章的篇幅来讨论我们周围正在爆炸的“信息时代”。在第一世界国家，只要按一下电脑按钮，我们就能立即知道1984年7月至1985年6月在印第安纳州的布卢明顿举行了多少次家长教师协会会议。只要一问，人们就能立即得到1979年至1985年间密歇根州卡拉马祖市一家医院有多少23岁至45岁的住院病人患有胃肠炎的数据。然而，在这里，在这个通常被称为“垂死大陆”的遥远东南角，数字和数据不仅非常珍贵，而且往往根本得不到。如果他们有，他们往往是混乱的，矛盾的，难以辨认的，不可靠的，捏造的，在政治难题中模糊的，拼写错误的，非常不标准的，过时的，和/或荒谬的！
John Naisbitt, author of the best-selling Megatrends, devotes an entire chapter to the “information age” that is currently exploding around us. In First World countries, at the touch of a computer button, we can instantly learn how many PTA meetings were held when in Bloomington, Indiana between July 1984 and June 1985. For the asking, one can obtain instant printouts of how many inpatients between the ages of twenty-three and forty-five at a Kalamazoo, Michigan hospital suffered from gastroenteritis between 1979 and 1985.Yet, here, in the far southeast corner of what is often called the “dying continent,” figures and data are not only at a premium-they are often simply, not to be had. If they are to be had, they are often confused, contradictory, illegible, unreliable, trumped up, obscured in political conundrums, misspelled, wildly unstandardized, outdated, and/or absurd!
