Abstract: Some quotes selectred throught this remarkable book:
- The story the data tell us is often the one we'd like to hear.
- We face a danger whenever information growth outpaces our understanding of how to process it. The last forty years of human history imply that it can still take a long time to translate information into useful knowledge.
- The signal is the truth. The noise is what distracts us from the truth.
- .. if the quantity of inofrmation is increasing by 2.5 quintillion bytes per day
