The world is changing. Here’s how companies must adapt
(Agenda on World Economic Forum Annual Meeting)
Although we have only seen the beginning, one thing is already clear: the Fourth
Industrial Revolution is the greatest transformation human civilization has ever
known. As far-reaching as the previous industrial revolutions were, they never set
free such enormous transformative power.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is transforming practically every human activity:
the way we make things; the way we use the resources of our planet; the way we
communicate and interact with each other as humans; the way we learn; the way we
work; the way we govern; and the way we do business. Its scope, speed and reach
are unprecedented.

The Fourth Industrial

Revolution will
eliminate millions of
jobs and create
millions of new ones.
 Research Analysis

Enormous power entails enormous risk. Yes, the

stakes are high. If we get the revolution right,
digitalization will benefit the nearly 10 billion
humans inhabiting our planet in the year 2050. If
we get it wrong, societies will be divided into
winners and losers, social unrest and anarchy will
arise, the glue that holds societies and communities
together will disintegrate, and citizens will no
longer believe that governments are able to fulfill
their purpose of enforcing the rule of law and
providing security.
What is Information
Age
Also known as Digital Age, New Media Age,
Computer Age, is a Historical period that
began in the mid 20th century, characterized
by rapid epochal shift from the traditional
industry established by the Industrial
Revolution to an economy primary based
upon Information Technology.

major changes in agriculture,
manufacturing, mining, transportation, and

on the social, economic, and cultural
conditions of the world. 
 Inventions and Innovations of the
Information Age
There were many different inventions that came about because of the Information
Age, one of which was the computer. The Internet allowed people to access
information with the touch of a button.

The Internet has turned society into homebodies, individuals who do everything
from the comfort of their homes instead of venturing outdoors to complete tasks.
People can do everything online; shopping, communicating, bill paying, working,
education, entertainment, even ordering food. This may be good, but it has also
made us a very lazy and uneducated society.

Tim Berners-Lee, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are several important people of the
Information Age. Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web. Jobs who was created
the first effective personal computer called the Apple 1
The Apple 1 was a huge advancement in computer sciences and it carved the path
for the computers we have now. Apple has created iPhone, iPod, iPad, iMac, and
Apple TV. Gates is also a huge force in the Information Age. He founded Microsoft,
which creates almost everything that has to do with computers. Microsoft develops
programs like Microsoft Office, Windows, and many other influential products.
 Changes of the Information Age

The Information Age has changed people, technology, science, economies,

culture, and even the way people think. The Internet is arguably the most
prominent innovation of the Information Age. The Internet changed the
way people do everything. It has made people lazier, but it also makes a
large amount of the population smarter. The Information Age has made
industrial countries stronger. With online companies being some of the
most successful and economically stimulating businesses out there,
economies receive more from them and keep our world turning.
 Changes of the Information Age

People are becoming more mature and more educated due to

things like the computer and the Internet. This time period has
reshaped governments, with new technology being created every
day. Governments can now have more advanced and effective
militaries. Because of things like the Internet, new laws had to
be put in place to stop hacking, piracy, and identity theft.
 The Information Age brought about many new
inventions and innovations. Many communication
services like texting, email, and social media developed
