2. The Information Age, a period marked by the rapid creation,
dissemination, and access to information, has its roots in
Gutenberg's invention of the printing press in the 15th
century. This groundbreaking innovation democratized
knowledge, making books more accessible than ever
before. However, the Information Age, particularly its
modern phase, is characterized by exponentially faster and
cheaper information distribution, fueled by computers and
the internet.

3. The Information Age ( Gutenberg's to social
media)
- Johannes Gutenberg, a German blacksmith and
publisher who introduced “movable typeprinting”
in Europe, established what we called Gutenberg era
which is responsible for shapingthe nature of society
and its underlying institutions.

4. Gutenberg's Impact:
Gutenberg's printing press revolutionized the
production and distribution of books. Prior to this,
books were painstakingly copied by hand, making
them expensive and rare. The printing press enabled
mass production, lowering costs and increasing
literacy rates. This marked the beginning of a shift
towards a more informed society.

5. The Digital Revolution
The invention of the computer and the subsequent
development of the internet ushered in a new era of
information access. Computers enabled the storage,
processing, and transmission of information at
unprecedented speeds. The internet connected
people and resources globally, creating a vast network
of information exchange.

6. Social Media's Role
Social media platforms have further accelerated the
information revolution. They provide instant
communication channels, enabling the rapid spread of
news, ideas, and trends. Social media has
democratized information creation, allowing
individuals to share their perspectives and
experiences with a global audience.

7. Impact on Society
The Information Age has profoundly impacted society
in numerous ways. It has revolutionized
communication, commerce, education, and
healthcare. However, it has also presented challenges
such as information overload, privacy concerns, and
the spread of misinformation.

and biodiversity is the foundation of these
ecosystems.
Loss of biodiversity can negatively impact
human health and well-being by disrupting
ecosystem services and increasing risks of
diseases.

crucial for maintaining a healthy society
and ensuring sustainable development.
