Information Services and the Irrational

Abstract

Examples of seemingly irrational responses to information delivery in the developing world are explored and the underlying rationality considered. Witchcraft, tribal loyalties and tradition, along with very local economics are some of the legitimate components of the filter through which new information must pass to be accepted. Better attempts to understand apparent irrational attitudes will lead to the development of more effective information services.
