Information Age---The age of electronic programmable machines able to connect with each other through
the Internet, or World Wide Web, to buy and sell goods and services, send, gather and receive information, and perform programmed, automated tasks. It is a period of extreme globalisation, similar to the Industrial Age indeed. Less demand for labour is noticeable in
the developed world as computers take on more and more tasks traditionally done by humans. Meanwhile, rumours about slave-like labour in the emerging nations abound.
