During the Information Age, the phenomenon is that the digital industry creates a knowledge-based society surrounded by a high-tech global economy that spans over its influence on how the manufacturing throughput and the service sector operate in an efficient and convenient way.

Talking in 2010, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, announced that privacy is no longer a “social norm”. In the future, data on our habits and movements – where we’ve been and what we’ve done – will be available to anyone who wants to know.

Nothing surprising there, except for the idea that this is “a period in human history” — which tends to suggest it will come to an end at some point.

The history of the Information Age can be described as a progress of fits and starts. When AT&T chose to go through divestiture in 1984 in order to get involved with computers – something forbidden to it in a 1956 consent decree – this event became the great trigger for the coming of the Information Age.
