Likewise, while it is now cheap to disseminate existing information, the collection and production of new information often requires major investment, and, in many competitive situations, new information matters most. Intelligence collection is a good example, and the elaborate Stuxnet worm that disabled Iranian nuclear centrifuges seems to have been a government creation.
类似地，尽管如今散布已有信息成本低廉，但搜集和制造新信息通常要求投入重金，在许多竞争性情形中，新技术起着最关键的作用。情报搜集就是很好的例子，精心编写的Stuxnet蠕虫病毒能让伊朗核离心机陷入瘫痪，而这似乎便是政府的杰作。
