That is the information age?

technology to ascribe a number of things making the life of human beings so much easier to have revolutionized the thinking and acting of the persons in being a before and after in the history of mankind so without providing a number of thingsgrabbing people's lives easier.
With the advent of the computer and the Smartphone human beings are engaged in great sea mysteries that still remain to be discovered.
Instead information has become a free form of expression, yes, but at the same time assumed the profile of one of the most dangerous weapons.
This "was" shares its momentum with others that still remain at the top of popularity. Andpartly because we could not establish in detail the birth of this form or characteristics absolutely own. It is curious that our world, as lover of the exact sciences and definitions have to settle for so many ambiguities, the guise of clarification.
Information Age is the name that is given to the period roughly follows the space age and precedes the knowledge economy and is linked totechnologies of information and communication. The information age is a term applied to the period in which the movement of information became faster than physical movement, and was first used after 1990.
Under conventional economic theory, the information was also refers to the era in which the information was a critical resource, and search and seizure generating a competitive advantage. Microsoft becameone of the largest companies in the world because of its influence in creating the underlying mechanisms that facilitate the distribution of information. You could say it started in the second half of the nineteenth century with the invention of the telephone and the telegraph. Often used in conjunction with the term post-industrial society.

This happens even now ... ie that there are corners or privileged bastards that do not know exactly what happens outside these small confines.
Travelers, soldiers, pilgrims, minstrels, poets, ambassadors discreetly masked officers or correspondents, events circulated tothe extent that they came to villages and cities, courts and taverns. Then, as now, the information was not pure, because they were not pure drinking fountains in which the transmitters, or his own personality could avoid adding salt and pepper to the things they knew, sometimes by special interests and sometimes simply be notice to the public. More or less detail, almost as far ...
Are thecurrent media that have changed the form but not the spirit of the information. Since the creation of the press so far, there have been many publications have appeared radios, televisions, tape recorders, tape recorders, videos, telephones, computers, fax and various other such wonderful gadgets that seem almost magical.
