You had the Stone Age, the Iron Age and the Bronze Age. We had the Industrial Revolution and I was wondering what age we will be living in when they llok back at us in a 1000 years time.
I would have said the technology age, but I guess each individual age had it's own state-of-the-art technologies then. I'd pip to say we are in the age of the Internet - everything involves the internet now (if it doesn't there is only one degree of separation from it).
Our lives can nearly be completely run by sitting in a chair and being plugged into the computer. Bills can be paid, money made and your social life can merely exist on an internet forum/networking site.
If you are hungry, why make the trip to the kitchen and waste time cooking? Fire off an e-mail to Dominoes Pizza and they will deliver one for you! You can even improve your sexual performance from checking your inbox!
I suppose rather than the Internet age, we are more the computer age. Most jobs involve the use of a computer of some kind - be it a PC, a camera or even a calculator.
Will we eventually become completely reliant on computers? Would you want such a time?
With all this technology already at our fingertips, it makes you wonder what will it hold for us next?

Sounds pretty reasonable! You are right - recently everything has become digital.

The Mass Consumption Age!
I guess as technology seems to be advancing at a sort of exponential speed, I guess every decade or so we may enter a new era!

The Consumption Age.
Is this Information Age not commonly called the Digital Era? Era sounds shorter than Age so perhaps this current time will be replaced soon.
According to Butch, and therefore google we are currently in the Information Age.
Close to my guess then... :S

The Pawnage? Sorry, couldn't resist.
I reckon it would be something like the Communication age, which would encompass not just current technology but the introduction of the video camera etc.
If the government get their way, though (as they seem to be doing) it will be the denial of information age.

I thought it was officially referred to as the "Communication Age" because of the heavy reliability on IT and Internet.
Don't hold me to it. Although that is what I would agree with.
