	Information Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Information Age is a term applied to the period where movement of information became faster than physical movement, more narrowly applying to the 1980s onward.
		Information technology is the use of technology to enhance the speed and the efficiency of the transfer of information.
		The information age continues to this day, and technological advances such as mobile phones, high speed connections, Voice Over IP have changed lifestyles around the world and spawned new industries around controlling and providing information.

	Too much information - theage.com.au
		Information literacy is viewed as a "prerequisite for participating effectively in the information society", according to the United Nations' Prague Declaration issued at the end of September.
		Information illiterate doctors are "literally a disaster area" because health is "a matter of life and death", Webber says, and quality health care relies on stores of reliable information.
		Information literacy : an understanding and set of abilities enabling individuals to recognise when information is needed and have the capacity to locate, evaluate and use effectively the needed information.

	MISQ: Four Ethical Issues of the Information Age)
		Information is the means through which the minds expands and increases its capacity to achieve its goals, often as the result of an input from another mind.
		For example, people's intellectual capital is impaired whenever they lose their personal information without being compensated for it, when they are precluded access to information which is of value to them, when they have revealed information they hold intimate, or when they find out that the information upon which their living depends is in error.
		Information systems should protect the viabilit of the fixed conduit resource through which it is transmitted to avoid noise and jamming pollution and the indignitties of "The Tragedy of the Commons".

	INFORMATION AGE TERRORISM
		In light of these conclusions, the best method to counter information age terrorism is a joint government/industry program of defensive measures that will increase the effort required for computer disruption while simultaneously diminishing the potential returns offered by this new form of terrorism.
		Despite the inevitable warnings that "the sky is falling," the utility of information warfare attacks may actually be lowest in the "terrorist" portion of the conflict continuum.
		The ongoing information revolution, coupled with the sensitive nature of computer systems for both business and defense, ensure that this is not a comprehensive examination of all computer related incidents but it is sufficiently broad to cover the entire "low intensity" spectrum of conflict.

	Information Age
		In the Agrarian Age, society was basically divided into two classes: the landowners and the people who worked on the land (the serfs).
		As we moved from the Agrarian Age through the Industrial Age to the Information Age, there's been a steady collapse of the barriers that kept one section of society wealthy and the other section poor.
		The skills necessary to succeed in the Information Age are not being learnt from our parents (as in the Agrarian Age), nor are they being learnt in schools and colleges (as in the Industrial Age).

	Age Discrimination
		The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age.
		Age limitations in apprenticeship programs are valid only if they fall within certain specific exceptions under the ADEA or if the EEOC grants a specific exemption.
		However, because such inquiries may deter older workers from applying for employment or may otherwise indicate possible intent to discriminate based on age, requests for age information will be closely scrutinized to make sure that the inquiry was made for a lawful purpose, rather than for a purpose prohibited by the ADEA.

	Information society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An information society is a society in which the creation, distribution and manipulation of information is a significant economic and cultural activity.

	National Forum on Information Literacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		- Information Literacy is defined as the ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand.
		Information is expanding at an unprecedented rate, and enormously rapid strides are being made in technology for storing, organizing, and accessing the ever-growing tidal wave of information.
		The combined effect of these factors is an increasingly fragmented information base, a large component of which are available only to people with money and/or acceptable institutional affiliations.

	Education in the Information Age
		These ages are defined by the primary activity that humans engaged in during the respective age.
		The Information Age is characterized by the value of information, rather than raw materials and physical labor.
		It should be noted that, given the increasing necessity of lifelong learning (and the concomitant increase in the total number of potential learners) in the Information Age, this plan will not result in a reduction in the total number of teachers in our workforce.

	participation - information age
		This is because the design of information systems is an activity that converges to a specific functionality, whereas the design of social affairs employs the functionality to serve divergent human values, and resulting in divergent, different, human activity systems.
		In the age of information society, modern information technology, including AI, should be used to support regional planning processes not only as a tool of accumulating or presenting knowledge but also as a tool for stimulating creative ideas.
		But often he or she cannot identify the problem, not merely because of shortage or overflow of data, but in general because he or she cannot make sure what the context itself is. In this case the decision maker or the planner cannot use the database system appropriately because its data structure is context free.

	Digital Web Magazine - The Age of Information Architecture
		Not all information architects came out of the "falling between the cracks of design and programming." Library science was the foundation for Argus Inc., who didn't coin the term but put it in perspective for the web era and are to thank (or blame, depending on your view) for the current definition and emphasis.
		While the role of "information architect" has drawn much attention, the power is in the idea of information architecture and the application of its principles by everyone on a project.
		While having a dedicated information architect is nice, a situation where one or more information architects are working on a project and incorporating IA concepts throughout the project with the help of everyone involved can magnify their positive impact on the final results.

		Hobart and Schiffman see what we call the "information age" as actually the third such "age." The first began with the invention of writing and the second with the development of the printing press.
		It is the first they find most dramatic, since "information" as we know it today is intimately tied to the invention of writing.
		By their definition, information is a human concept rather than something that exists in and of itself; information came into existence when knowledge could be stored outside an individual human's memory.
