On this forum we talk a lot about filling needs and creating value. The challenge is how to measure the value created.

For instance, right now, in NYC area electricity is a needed and very valuable commodity. People in that area are raised using and depending on electricity. However, in many areas of the world they don't have electricity and it's no big deal.

So, how do you determine what is created value and how do you quantify it?
