The Information Age (also known as the Computer
Age, Digital Age, or New Media Age) is a period in human history characterized
by the shift from traditional industry that the Industrial Revolution brought
through industrialization, to an economy based on information computerization.
The onset of the Information Age is associated with the Digital Revolution,
just as the Industrial Revolution marked the onset of the Industrial Age.[1][2]
The definition of what digital means (or what information means) continues to
change over time as new technologies, user devices, methods of interaction with
other humans and devices enter the domain of research, development and market
launch.
During the Information Age, the phenomenon is that
the digital industry creates a knowledge-based society surrounded by a
high-tech global economy that spans over its influence on how the manufacturing
throughout and the service sector operate in an efficient and convenient way.
In a commercialized society, the information industry is able to allow
individuals to explore their personalized needs, therefore simplifying the
procedure of making decisions for transactions and significantly lowering costs
for both the producers and buyers. This is accepted overwhelmingly by
participants throughout the entire economic activities for efficacy purposes,
and new economic incentives would then be indigenously encouraged, such as the
knowledge economy.[3]
The Information Age formed by capitalizing on
computer microminiaturization advances.[4] This evolution of technology in
daily life and social organization has led to the fact that the modernization
of information and communication processes has become the driving force of
social evolution.
