Data runs wild

It seems the age of gathering information is at an end. It just doesn’t sound sufficiently 'business speak'-like, even for people you wouldn’t expect to be immersed in business bullshit.

This morning on the radio the British High Commissioner in New Zealand said officials were 'capturing data' about UK citizens who might have been caught up in the earthquake.

Regrettably for the English news media, no data about fatalities or serious injuries to British nationals seems so far to have been captured.
