From among the table of Timeline of the Information Age, choose one event you think has the impact on the emergence of the Information Age. Explain your answer in exactly 5 sentences.
Altair Microcomputer Kit was-released: first personal computer for the public RadioShack introduced the first complete personal computer Apple Macintosh computer was introduced Artificial intelligence was separated from information 1975 1977 1984 Mid 1980s science Hypercard was developed by Bill Atkinson recipe box metaphor Four hundred fifty complete works of literature on one CD- ROM was released 1987 1991 RSA (encryption and network security software) Internet security code cracked for a 48-bit number January 1997 Figure 7. Evolution of Man and Information As man evolved, information and its dissemination has also evolved in many ways. Eventually, we no longer kept them to ourselves; instead, we share them and manage them in different means. Information got ahead of us. It started to grow at a rate we were unprepared to handle. Because of the abundance of information, it was difficult to collect and manage them starting in the 1960s and 1970s. During the 1980s, real angst set in. Richard Wurman called it "Information Anxiety." In the 1990s, information became the currency in the business world. Information was the preferred medium of exchange and the information managers served as information officers. In the present generation, there is no doubt that information has turned out to be a commodity, an overdeveloped product, mass-produced, and unspecialized. Soon, we become overloaded with it.
