Hello, Everyone refers to the age we now live in as the Age of Information (at least, nearly everyone). Is there any agreed upon year when our so-called "Age of Information" began? I have been using c.1975 as a starting point. Ed Nizalowski, SMS Newark Valley High School Newark Valley, NY enizalowski@nvcs.stier.org "For all the chatter about the Age of Information, what we are really entering is the Age of Biology, and it is bigger than anything we can imagine. . . . . We didn't invent nature. Nature invented us. Nature bats last, as the saying goes, but even more important, it's her playing field. We would be wise to learn the ground rules and how to play them.
