I lived through the Information Age. Make no mistake, we are now living in the post Post-Information Age, and it's not pretty.

The Information Age began more or less with the printing press, and took root  as wealth and our ability to share information globally grew and as television provided nonstop news and documentary, and then skyrocketed to its Apex as the Internet became a way of life across the world. The Information Age has finally ended with the outright assault on Democracy and free speech, the re-consolidation of power in the very few, the Corporate coup of the United States government, and the overwhelming denial  of scientific validity on all fronts of power and societal organization.
