Quiz No. 8

1. How did the Information Age has helped us in our pursuit of the Good Life

Answer:

The Information Age brought about many new inventions and Innovations. Many communication services like texting,
email and social media developed and the world has not been the same since, People learn new languages easier
and many books have been translated into different languages, so people around the world can become more
educated. The Information Age is also known as the age of Entrepreneurship . Now entrepreneurship can start and run
a company easier than ever before. It also impacts our work ethics by distracting us and causing us to lose interest in
the task we are doing. The Information Age is now. Every era from the Stone Age up to the Industrial Revolution has
led to the world as we know it. Without information, knowledge and discoveries of those from the past, we would not be
where we are today. The past shaped our present and will continue to shape our future.

2. Explain the impact and influence or The Information Age in the following: Culture, Religion, Science and Society 

Answer:

Culture: This Information Age has had a dramatic impact on our modern culture, from the way we do business to the
way we express ourselves. There is no way to know what the next major technological innovation will be, but it is pretty
clear that technology is going to be part of our global culture for quite some time.

Religion: The so-called "information age" is gradually spreading its influence to the realm of religion, namely, in the
methods religions use for teaching, proselytizing, and in belief systems. Particularly noteworthy developments include
the fact that it is now possible for any religion to spread beyond national borders, allowing even small new religious
movements to engage in overseas proselytization activities, and leading to new, hitherto unseen religious
developments. This rapid acceleration of the "information age" is now producing a phenomenon which can be called
the "globalization of religion."Although it is impossible to estimate how this process will develop in the future, it is likely
that religious information will increasingly circulate in ways different from those formerly known, new types of religious
organization will be formed, and the contents of their activities and teachings will experience a more turbulent rate of
change than before. In this sense, religion overall is facing a great turning point.

Science and society:All of this technology does not just happen. It arises from innovation based on decades of
research in the underlying basic science, of which physics is a major component in essentially every case. Medicine,
entertainment, transportation, energy, national security, communications—the unprecendented advance in all of these
areas are built on solid technical foundations and more continuous investment in basic science. It is the investment of
basic science that we are making today that will fuel the technological innovations of tomorrow.

3. In what ways do you think Information will continue to evolve in the years to come

Answer:

As more existing technologies are stacked onto each other and developed into something greater, consumers and
businesses alike can expect to see more opportunity with future technology. Technology will be faster, have the ability
to accomplish more and everything will become more streamlined to make getting work done, easier.While we don’t
have the ability to predict the future, we can offer speculations on technology’s evolution. We are constantly seeing
emerging media and new trends in technology to follow.
