Hello Members?

I believe that the age we are living in ... is Information Age.

What are your opinions?

REgards,

I would have to agree with you. Information about ANYTHING is now at the very tips of our fingers, and available in a matter of only seconds. Back 100 years ago we didn't even have telephones, let alone computers. Our ancestors in rural areas didn't even have libraries, books were rare and hard to come by in a great deal of the country. It was difficult to learn any new subjects. About all you could learn was what your parents taught you.

agree on that, we are now living in a big circle of information. use information, exchange information we even learn children how to use it and this way we pass information. sometimes i think that we are living in matrix full of numbers and algorithms. however, the information is a horrible weapon, because we can either use it correctly and get benefit from it or use it in a bad way and harm or abuse others and this what makes people sometimes limiting themselves from using technology, and stay away from the world of information.

Information is very much the focal point of the lives of people and vital to the success of businesses these days. It's also the tool many businesses are using to generate their profits, and therefore the money to pay their employees. Information has become a vital component to many families livelihoods. However, you could also make the argument that we are in the "Public Age"; nothing is private any more. With people using websites like Facetube and Youspace to post every minute detail of their lives online, accessible to anyone at any time, we are in an age where personal privacy has all but disappeared for these people. It has almost become expected that people have all this information available online.

Yes.We are living in the information age.If we are lack of information,we will be weed out by the society even unsurvival.When you are birth,what you have done will become information for others who can know you from that information.We should understand information and analyse them for getting more information.In a word,human can't leave information.We are together and we are a whole.

But knowledge is something that we humans need to APPLY, but we lack the common sense.

well, we are all trying to get knowledge in our lives, either by studying or by experiences in real life and all will lead us to be better persons so we can pass this knowledge to others and help them be inform either. as i said before it is a big circle.

Definitely the Information age. It seems everywhere you look it is all about having, getting and owning information. It is driven by the computers, cell phones, Ipad and all the technology advances we are seeing.

We humans have evolved from the time where there was no written language. As far as I know history... ancient humans prefered oral communication over written communication (atleast in India).. But slowly... written language developed and we saw a new group emerging like Writers, Editors, Publishers etc.

Now, is the age of Bloggers and Internet. I believe WIKIPEDIA is our new Bible / Quran because its edited by entire HUMANITY with equal rights. Today, I give my greatest credit to wikipedia for giving me sooo GOOOD and RELIABLE information... sorry, Knowledge.
