The fact that we can quantify so many things means that sometimes we abandon the challenges that are harder to measure – such as corruption, food quality, or education. Even as the Internet and services such as Watsi make the world seem smaller, they can obscure the reality of what is driving global developments.
事实上，推动和支持长期变化远比照看破产体系的受害者更复杂。我们可以量或如此多的东西，这一事实意味着有时我们会放弃更难度量的挑战——如腐败、食品质量和教育。即使互联网和Watsi等服务似乎让世界变得更小，但它们也会让是什么推动全球发展的现实变得更模糊。我们应该投资于产前看护、教育和透明度。我们应该帮助人们构建自己的社会。
