The world today is completely different than the one most of us grew up in. Anyone who caught up in the hype around Back to The Future’s 30th anniversary in 2015 got a great reminder of what things were like 30 years ago. Our behavior has shifted over the last three decades due in part to the rise of technology.
The rise of computers, the internet, and mobile devices has had an effect on how we interact as we’ve gained widespread access to information.

the Information Age.
