Information Revolution

Welcome to my blog!

First of all, I want to explain what does revolution mean - revolution is a fundamental change of something.

We often hear revolution in political meaning, but today I am going to talk about Information Revolution.

As you know live is not at a standstill, people had different life last century. Life is changing because of the many things and new technologies are one of the consequences. Nowadays I can’t imagine life without them: internet, electricity, hot water and gas. These things are make our life better and more comfortable, however few of things have been limited and other things don’t exist at all in the past.

I can say that information revolution has begun with computers. First of all, computers were invented for the needs of scientists, they looked cumbersome. Scientists used computers for calculating a lot of amount of formulas that hard to calculate on paper. After some time, companies like IBM began to manufacture computers for ordinary users. This event led to the global spreading of the computers. Now we have ability to keep our information not only on papers, but also on computers, so now there is no need to make a lot of facilities like libraries to keep tons of information. 

With the invention of the computer we had a need for something that could help us spread information around the world. And that something has to be very fast. Eventually, we got big network that called “Internet”. Nowadays it’s a biggest network that cover almost the entire Earth. In the near future it will cover entire Earth by using drones.

Computer and internet were invented few decades ago, but you can see that these things are spreading very fast. In today’s world almost all stuff connected to computers and internet. They are helping to students in education… of course if they are not distracted by something from internet. In the future robots would replace people in many professions. What can I say about it? I guess, there are a lot of pros and cons. Someone could lost his job, however big changes in our life require sacrifice. On the other hand, Earth is so big, we have a lot of things to do here.

If you have ever seen “Back to the Future” franchise, you know that present world is more modern that you have seen in this movie. I believe we couldn’t predict what will happen in the future from the point of technology. People wanted to see flying cars, time machines, but these things are too revolution. Revolution and evolution are interrelated. The first one could change the World, the second one could make our life better by upgrading existing things.

Technologies have improved life on Earth, the new technologies, like self-driven cars, advanced AI, drones could make our life better in the future. We are living in interesting time and everyone should keep eye on what is happening in this field. All today’s dreams could become a reality…
