5 Information Ages
The Evolution of how we communicate Information from Face-to-Face to the Internet
Publisher Description
This eGuide describes how the tools we use to communicate information have evolved. Updated November 8, 2024
It lays out the reason the 21st Century is different than any other time in history by describing the 5 Ages of Information:
1. Story Telling
2. Cave Paintings
3. Alphabet
4. Printing Press
5. The Internet
This book also describes the 6 tests that I use to divide the
different ages:
1) Does the information persist over time?
2) Is the information mobile?
3) How much information can be communicated over a specific amount of time (Bandwidth)?
4) Is the information “Duplicable?”
5) How many publishers are there?
6) Who controls information.
