reproduce.

10. Describe Information Revolution and analyze its pros and cons.
Information revolution is a period of change that might prove as significant to the lives of
people. Computer technology is at the root of this change, and continuing advancements
in that technology seem to ensure that this revolution would touch the lives of people.
Computers are unique machines; they help to extend the brain power.
There are benefits and drawbacks to the Information Revolution. One of its advantages
is that, since the introduction of e-books (electronic books), books have become nearly
obsolete. I can save my page without fear of losing it, I can't lose it, and I can share it with
others. To share the book with someone else, I'd have to ship it to them, which would cost both
money and time. In addition, eliminating books would result in fewer trees being cut down and
taken from the Earth.
There are several drawbacks to the Information Revolution, such as greater exposure to
computers and dependency on computers, as well as an increase in cyber-crime. Fraud and
identity theft, for example, have increased as a result of the fact that many people are highly
adept with computers and choose to exploit that expertise. Some would even argue that, as a
result of the Internet, a person's level of personal security has diminished. As a result, many
people's personal space has been invaded, and they may have even been victims of cyber-
crime.
