The Information Age

Over the past three decades, technology and information in the United States and many developed countries has grown rapidly. The "information age" that we know leads to a rapid increase in information flow and availability. Instruments far beyond the imagination of Chester Gould's bi-directional radio and television are now commonplace. Carter police detective role Dick Tracy owns it. PC, email, SMS, iPad, cable TV, satellite TV, and the Internet are now the budgets of many consumers.

So for me, it is a networked computer that defines the age of information. Other definitions in the information age are far wider, including fax machines, cell phones, computer applications not connected to the network, and other information technologies such as a few intranets. Clearly there are other aspects in the information age, but network computers will be the focus of this article. I did not use this parallel for the first time. A couple of years ago, a colleague Norm Shapiro first proposed a difference in communication quality represented by network computers. This difference is currently the point of discussion that is widely shared in the discussion of networked computers. Some authors also state that printing machines are historical basins that are similar to the information age. In addition, at least one author made a substantial comparison between the press and the network.

We have reached a new era called the information age. There, human beings can get lots of information right away through computer technology. Is it good for easy access to information and sharing information for web search engines and social media platforms like Google, Bing, Facebook, Twitter etc? There are advantages and disadvantages to quickly accessing large amounts of information. I believe that access to this information is essential for living in a modern world, as society continues to evolve to demand and receive information. In anticipation of the future, I believe that if human beings fully adapt to the concept of instant information, this will be a complicated problem.

People say "live in the information age," the written information has been used for thousands of years. With the invention of a printing machine hundreds of years ago, it became possible to distribute the written information to a large number of people. However, due to the emergence of modern computers, the ability to create, copy, and access large amounts of information, there is the possibility that ordinary people may experience information overload. The brain can actually process tens of millions of signals per second from our senses. Think about the number of light sensors in your eyes and make it equal to the resolution of the digital camera (and the corresponding file size of the photo it creates). Then it contains thousands of touch sensitive areas of our body and our hearing range. However, since the brain has evolved over tens of millions of years to solve this problem, we can still handle all of these.
