 Information age- is the idea that access to and the control of information(also known

computer age, digital age, silicon age, or new media age)

 Historical period
-transistor- 1947
Optical amplifier-1957
 Unix time, began in January 1,1970 and serves as basis for coordinated universal time
and network time protocol.
 Early development
- Fremont rider- calculated library expansion in 1945
- Advocated replacing bulky, decaying printed work with miniaturize microform analog
photographs
- Moores law – calculated the number of transistor and dense integrated circuit .
 Information storage and kryders law
- Kryders law – prescribes that the amount of storage space available appears to be
growing approximately extreme.
 Information transmission
- Worlds technological capacity to receive information through one way broadcast
network
- The spread of the internet caused a sudden leap in access to and ability to shre
information in business and homes globally
 Computation
- Digital technology has vastly exceeded the cognitive capacity of any single
human being and has done so a decade earlier than predicted
 Genetic information
- Genetic code may also be considered part of the information revolution
