The Information Age Sample Clauses

The Information Age a constellation of developments Looking beyond a macro-historical logic – as it is claimed by Hobart and Xxxxxxxxx (2000) – the Information Age, is in its concrete mechanics linked to an intricate web of technological innovations and seminal theoretical insights that engender important economic and social transformations in the second half of the twentieth century. Sociologist Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (2003) – who uses the terms ‘Information Society’ and ‘Information Age’ interchangeably – summarizes the elements of the web as follows: The notion of the information society took formal shape in the wake of the invention of artificial intelligence machines during the Second World War. It became a standard reference in academic, political and economic circles from the 1960s. The manufacture of a world of images related to the ‘information age’ continued apace throughout the following decade. The true geopolitical meaning of the neologisms created at the time to designate the new society would not come to light until the eve of the third millennium, with the proclamation of what is usually called the ‘information revolution’ and the arrival of the Internet as the new public- access network.
