Resources
At MoreQuality, we believe in sharing. Sharing resources is essential. In today's information society we are surrounded, perhaps bombarded, by information. Unlike tangible goods or products, which can be "used up", ideas can be shared over and over again, providing value for each person.
Our society has evolved from a situation of information scarcity to information overload. This parallels our evolution as a society, moving from hunting and gathering, to cultivating food - now to a fast-food, low nutrition diet.
We espouse information quality, rather than quantity and seek to foster and support a robust information ecosystem that nourishes the mind and spirit.
