SPECIFIC ISSUES IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY

THE INFORMATION AGE 9


SUGGESTED TIME ALLOTMENT | 3 HOURS

OVERVIEW
This module introduces the information age, its history, and its impact to the
present society. The module is divided into three (3) lessons namely, 1) The VOCABULARY LIST
Development of Information Age, 2) The World Wide Web, and 3) Social Media.
Specifically, this module will: a) present the history of information age through
a timeline, how it began, and what significant inventions and discoveries have INFORMATION AGE. Defined
developed since it began; b) cover the concept of the World Wide Web as one as a period starting in the last
of the major developments in the information age, applications of computers quarter of the 20th century when
in science and research as well as how to check the reliability of web sources; information became effortlessly
and c) introduce concepts such as the different types of social media accessible through publications
platforms, its uses, its advantages and disadvantages, its impact to the people and through the management
and society, and the responsible use of social media. of information by computer
and computer networks.
