Living in the Information Age
For the last 2000 years of human history, we lived in the “Agrarian Age”. This was a time when it was all about farming. Whoever owned the farms and the land, controlled the wealth.
In the 20th Century, we moved in to a new age called the “Industrial Age”. The first big corporate giants including Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford, with their huge steel and car companies dominated the business world. It was whoever owned the factories that controlled the wealth.
From the year 2000 onwards, with the rise of the Internet, we moved in to a new age. “The Information Age”. Today, companies like Twitter and Facebook are changing the business world. Today, it is about building and owning networks. This has levelled the playing field. There has never been a better time in history to build and own your own business. Are you set to take advantage?
