Information
Revolution
The changes in human behavior and human society that have
resulted from the popularity of computers, and especially
of personal computers, for the sharing and transmission of
information. This began in the 1970's and 1980's, and became
a global phenomenon in the 1990's. The two aspects of the
Information Revolution that have changed behavior and society
the most are probably the World Wide Web and the use of email.
Some experts say this is the biggest change in human history
since the printing press or the Industrial Revolution.
