This Information Revolution was a dramatic change taking place in the last half of the 20th century. This uprising created jobs from the high technology and highly skilled professions to the technologically low-skill jobs. Beginning with the invention of the integrated circuit or computer chip, our lives have ultimately been revolutionized. These chips run our appliances, provide calculators, computers, and other electronic devices that control our world. Thus, the birth of the Internet had finally come. This information superhighway has permitted people to communicate using computers all around the globe.



E-mail has come a long way over the years and has surely made an impact on society. From the earliest stages of simple window boxes and unified fonts to the various options upon options that we have today, our world of technology has evolved immensely and made communication more accommodating and accessible.

  1. AMAZING! It is unbelievable how far technology really has come. I strongly agree with you when you say "E-mail has come a long way over the years and has surely made an impact on society.

  2. The technology is truly remarkable in a way it evolved over the years. This revolution took part in last half of 20th century. I agree that e-mail has impact on our society. E-mail has changed our way of living. Now, people are so much depended on technology that without technology people would not be able to live. They made some very good point about technology. The technology affects the world in so many different ways that we don’t even know. The technology has taken over in every single aspect of human’s life. Although their theme of the blog is same as ours, they have some very interesting posts. Most of the posts are same as ours but some posts are very different from ours. They have done very fine job of finding and writing about very unique inventions.
