Transformation of Industrial Age to Information Age

Since the early the 18th century till this day, industrial age has ruled almost every parts of the modern world. It was during the World War II, people felt the need of transformation from industrial age to the information age. The year 1956/57 is marked as the beginning of the globalization of the information evolution. The society structure was changed into brain oriented. During that time America was paving path for a new society, where most of them were working with information rather than producing goods. During the same period Russian launched the Sputnik, which successfully introduced the era of global satellite communications. Hence these two years are taken as the key years of the programming of information age. A largest computer hardware manufacturer, Intel was formed by 1968. The economic growth was remarkable during the period 1948 to 1973. People’s interest in computer was increasing day by day from sixties of 20th century. The information age is still continuing. During this age the majority of service workers are actually engaged with the creation, processing and distribution of information as programmers, teachers, engineers, system analysts, accountants, lawyers, stock brokers, insurance people, scientists etc rather than with the production of goods as in industrial age. Today information system is involved in almost each and every tactical jobs be it in the field of communication, production or business.
