Information Sharing Increases Value

Information sharing can increase the value of what you already know. As George Bernard Shaw said:
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
Note: The SPARKY awards were developed to foster student appreciation for information sharing. I found the Shaw quote in an announcement for the SPARKY awards.
