The information age is an era that has transformed our way of thinking, socializing, learning, and communicating. Real-time interaction with one another has a global reach. That combined with4 artificial intelligence and ever evolving technology, places the human species in uncharted territory. Moreover, there are no guidelines.

The Information Revolution

The industrial age brought a structural change that accompanied the technology.

Moreover, as that era progressed, we as humans easily adapted to what also changed our society and lifestyles.

Because it was hands-on, visual, and with this era came new laws.

The evolution from the agricultural to the industrial revolution improved our way of living enormously.

Now, as we are in the initial stages of the information era how will it shape our way of life? There are so many variables to consider all cannot be given the attention that each of them deserves in this post.

But the one's that I think is of most importance is our society, humanity, and how it affects our life overall.

Society

There has been a drastic change in how our society. I dare to say that every community has felt the effect of the level of technology that has already been forwarded to us. It cannot go unnoticed, how we are constantly on our mobile phones. It is like we have another appendage attached to us.

Now the mobile phone in itself is great attribute of the information age. It is the advent of all the applications that can be accessed from a phone that changed society. Would it be better to have that access limited to home PC's. More than not, everyone publicly is on a phone.

I know that on one really knows a person, but relying on a phone to make connections on a personal level does not make sense, without seeing the individual in person to get a more feel for this said person. I am not going to elaborate further on how it effects our driving.

On the bright side it has afforded me to expand my inner circle of friends and acquaintances. I never imagined that I could talk to and see someone from Madrid, Spain or Italy. The question here is, when will enough be enough?

Having everything at the ready has created an "I want it now" attitude. Patience is out the door when someone can lose interest in a matter of seconds if it has no immediate appeal. Put yur fingerprint on these changing times.

Humanity


Humanity is an after thought in today's world. Morality is a non issue to the powers that be. Either has know seat when greed is driving the vehicle. You may say this has nothing to do with the information age. However, it has everything to do with the information age. Consider how subliminal messaging, propaganda are utilized by the media.

I think our moral compass has been downfall. However, I think subconsciously we all know it has a major role in our human existence. If we continue to walk blindly by faith without raising a voice or lifting a hand it will continue in its decline. As they say "talk about it, and be about it" One person can make a difference.

Machines only know what we inject into them, but in time the processing ability of a machine will have it making choices and decisions based of algorithms and the process of elimination. What works best to achieve a goal with know human nature in the mix is a slippery slope if not looked into now.

Overall I think the studies that are being taken on our future will have to have some consideration for human intuition. To what degree I do not have a clue how deep they will dig into the matter. Our way of life is changing and we need laws and guidance before the fact and not after the fact as the case with the internet.

Please share your point of view to bring some clarity to this topic for me and others.

Thanks for the visit.

My granddaughter is more involved with her phone than anything else. She is learning the hard way that when Mom says no she means No. She is grounded from her phone for an infraction she has made 3 times within the past two weeks. She can't/won't stop listening to a certain UTube video person that Mom has forbid her to listen to. Mom has blocked the UTube but she found a may to hack into it. So is now grounded again!
Point being, you would think we have ruined her life. This generation is SO hooked on technology.

Tried and true

An intriguing post Maurice. you have touched on some interesting aspects of the "information age or revolution" I am not convinced it wil have a good ending for all of us. I liked your thought about limiting some of the capacity of a mobile phone to a PC. It may improve social interaction.
Our access to knowledge is at our fingertips all the time but with advances in technology that same knowledge might turn against us and we will find ourselves being controlled by it.
A thought provoking post.

thank you for commenting with some valuable input.

Hello Maurice! You are touching a profound subject of the human's mind. The human intuition blows my mind. I am in awe with my own. I am still learning how to listen to my intuition and not double guessing myself.

It'll be sometime before AI (Artificial Intelligent) has its own intuition. I don't know if we'll see it during our life time.

This conversation reminded me of a television series called "Westworld" where robots evolved. It's an interesting scenario and fun TV series to watch.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Happy Easter!!!

I have read some of your posts. And from which I can see that you are self-aware, and you want to follow your core beliefs. I think that is why there is a sense of honesty shining from you.

Thank you, Maurice for your thoughtful words. Those words put a smile on my face... =)

here are as many permutations of human imagination here as you can count!
