The Founding Of The Information Age

The creation of the printing press is one of the earliest inventions that is said to have "laid the ground for the Information Age" (Windley). This invention along with other creations have impacted the ease of transition into the Information Age. The effect these creations have on the Digital/Tech Revolution is major. Using these inventions as a foundation has allowed new and advanced forms of technology to be created that are based off of these older forms of sharing information. The Industrial Revolution, which took place before the Digital/Tech Revolution, has also had a major impact on the start of the Information Age. Certain systems like mass and machine-made production as well as other modern production methods, that were created during that time, are said to have “fueled the Digital Revolution” (__). The effect of this form of manufacturing has allowed individuals to create and produce large quantities of technology never seen before. The Industrial Revolution put systems in place that ensured the Information Age would succeed. Without the inventions and different structures that were put in place before the Digital Revolution, the Information Age wouldn't have grown to the become the large industry that it

William Shockley an already Nobel Prize winning scientist decided to create his own semiconductor company. He had hired eight PhD graduates to work with him and improve the semiconductor and create new technologies. The eight men all focused on different fields there were physicists, mechanical and electrical engineers, metallurgists, and tool builders. Unlike Shockley, they were young men almost all under thirty. The laboratory was located in the valley because of Shockley’s personal ties to that area. The work environment at Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory was not very inviting, which led to the eight men resenting Shockley. Realizing that Shockley would not be replaced they decided

Throughout the world today, millions of people use the internet multiple times a day. Numerous amounts of articles that stress the fact how the internet is taking over the world. Along with the rise of the internet this information is spread rapidly. The rise of the internet has brought along a fear of technology in the future controlling life, and there are many articles that talk about the specific topic. Some articles also include a main focus of how the internet should be feared either by the illegal or sketchy actions that happens on behind the scene, the way that technology has its own nature through AI, and the easy access to anything on the internet with no true checking for identification on restricted sites. All of these articles have the same underlining theme that the internet can, and most times should be feared. With the fearsome internet security is a large aspect of everyone’s online life.

Steve Wozinak completed Kindergarten through 12th Grade. Later on he went to Berkley University. He met Steve Jobs in college and they became friends. He later dropped out of College. Steve Wozinak had many years of education.

In 1965, Gordon E. Moore, the chemist who would later become a co-founder of Intel Corporation, observed that transistor

The Philippines connected to the internet in 1994 via the Philippine Internet Foundation (PHNet), the first internet service provider in the country. Penetration increased slowly until 2005, when Executive Order 109 was enacted calling for the expansion of telecommunication services to underserved areas, which in turn promoted competition in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. Internet use further accelerated after 2008 with the entry of a number of industry players, although the use of mobile phones has remained more widespread. Penetration of such technologies is higher in urban areas where middle- to upper-income classes are concentrated.

“The Intel trinity” is the story of three visionaries with a dysfunctional relationship and principle that bound them together to aid constant innovation that resulted in the world’s most important company “Intel”, which for more than four decades after its launch has been a defining company of the global digital economy. The author Michael S. Malone’s talks about the company that is fearlessly innovative, wildly competitive and boundlessly visionary, soaring to success and changing the industry. Based on an exceptional access to the corporation 's archives, The Intel Trinity is a full history of Intel Corporation told through the lives of the three most important figures in the company 's history: Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove. The legendary inventors of the microprocessor, which was the single most important product in the modern world. Intel today builds the tiny "devices" that power almost every intelligent electronic device in use today. However, the sincere takeaway of Intel is the human story of the trio of geniuses behind it. Malone in the book reveals how each brought different phenomena to Intel, and at different times. Robert Noyce, the most respected and influential person of Silicon Valley of his generation, brought credibility the company 's formation; Moore made Intel the world 's technological leader; and Grove, has fiercely driven the company to great levels of success and competitiveness. Without these legends Intel would never have achieved

The 21st century can now be referred as the golden age of evolution of communications technology. Improved data management, data transmission, communication, digitalization of almost each and everyday necessities i.e. banking, insurance deposit, medical records, traffic control, social media, transportation, security surveillance lighting systems, heating and cooling systems and many more are now controlled or automated via computer. It can be said that our lives are totally encompassed with computers and computerized systems.

The information age is the period characterized by computerization and information. With automation and the passing of years, people tend towards being more curious regarding digging out of hidden secrets. Additionally, technology has improved keeping up with changing lifestyles and growing population. However, it is difficult to agree or disagree that with the coming of the information age comes the loss of crucial historical information. Consequently, many will agree that information age has both negative and positive implications on the world of history or the past. Understanding the positive and the negative repercussions, however, require that one extensively understands the past, present, and can predict the future. It seems that no one can provide a legitimate answer to this question without proper knowledge of historical information and the information age.

The arrival of the internet initiated a new age in which people had the ability to create their own community. The universality of it allowed people from all across the globe to easily interact with each other which meant it was no longer necessary to live in proximity with one another in order to maintain contact and make friends. One of the applications that emerged as a result of the internet age was YouTube. YouTube allowed people to be able to view and hear others without having to be in vicinity of them. It quickly became a linking force between people and allowed them to expand beyond their social bubble which provided opportunities for them to have contact with people who live far away. The years following its launch have only strengthened its position as a source of connection between people as it is increasingly used as a platform to share one’s life.

According to Kuniavsky (2010), the “middle of Moore’s” law has allowed for new technology to become much more powerful, while older technology gets cheaper without losing any power. Gordon Moore, founder of Intel Corporation, developed Moore’s Law which states that every two years processors transistor densities will double. Moore stated in this in his 1965 analysis, that the pragmatic model of factors affecting profitability in semiconductor manufacturing. He concluded that by “1975 economics may dictate squeezing as many as 65,000 components on a single silicon chip” which provided the knowledge and ability to become a contender in the semiconductor market.

Introduction:In 2000 the Microelectronics division of IBM found itself struggling as an unexpected rapid rise of demand overwhelmed the company's capacity. Chris King and her team had put a lot of effort and time into making the Network Technology Unit into what it had become. King and her team had started out by setting very bold targets (a BHAG if you will) of achieving growth levels that were unimaginable at the time and most importantly of becoming a leader in the business of microchip technology. In order to accomplish this, the team started the planning process by conducting a thorough analysis of the external environment, scanning for potential clients and competitors, as well as looking internally for highly motivated and skilled

Tom kept on moving and learning. He soon became one of the best telegraphers. He decided to move to Boston, the center of science. He worked at Western Union. He started learning finance and what it would take to back an invention. In 1868 he signed his first patent for a vote counter.

What exactly is remix? Remix is the creation of a new or derivative piece of art through the alteration, modification, or transformation of elements of the original. A remix is a piece of art that may have had items added, appropriated, or removed. Remix is everywhere and is nothing new in public space. People have been doing it for hundreds of years by altering paintings and other artistic art pieces. The advent of new technology and different forms of media have allowed people to remix in entirely different ways, utilizing new techniques, materials, and ideas. The popularization of the television and Internet has allowed digital forms of remix, previously impossible or only attainable for a small niche of the public. Though Banksy, Electronic Disturbance Theater, and the Yes Men group have taken advantage of digital forms of remix through different means, the Yes Men group has remixed public space the best.

Internet. Interconnection of networks. But it’s the former term millions of users use for probably the greatest invention in the field of technology. Well, that’s my opinion. After viewing Dr. Leonard Kleinrock’s speech on ‘The Internet History, Development and Forecast’ at Infocom 2006, it was really hard to believe that it took almost a decade for people then to realize its importance. As mentioned in his speech, though the ground work for Internet was initiated in 1957, it was not till 1966 that ARPA needed an Internet-like network for their functioning. It is quite unimaginable to think of today’s world without having access to the Internet. People are connected to the Internet for accessing their professional and social content while organizations may have their entire foundation built on it. It is definitely worth looking into something this huge and important, discussing its history, assessing the present and preparing for its future. In the next two paragraphs, on the basis of Dr. Klienrock’s presentation I have discussed the impact, be it good or bad, right or wrong the Internet has had on the way our daily business is conducted.
