Current global growth estimates are that every two days, the world is now

If I take a picture with my smartphone is that counted as "creating
information"?
I suspect it is, but we must remember that not everything that can be counted
counts.
What about the masterpiece that nobody ever sees, hears or reads? I am sure
many great works of thought have been utterly lost and many more have never
been experienced outside of the brains of their creators. Perhaps some
fundamental theoretical work is even now languishing in utter obscurity. Is
this “creating information” or does “creating information” depend on it
becoming consumed (and entangled with other streams of information)?
