The Necessary and Essential Technology for The Information Age and Beyond
As we progress further into the information age it is essential that you are keeping pace with the latest developments in technology and access to the knowledge that we so regularly proclaim as having been democratized and made more freely available.
What is the information age?
We have arguably been in the information age for a while and have moved beyond industrialized means of production to an age where computerization and information characterize how we make money and interact for business. The deeper we have entered into this age so to the more complex, integrated and intrinsic the access to and use of this information is for our way of life. To this end there are certain basics that we will all need to enter the world wide web and make use of the means of production, lifestyles, entertainment and media that exist therein.
However, even within this age there has been immense growth and re-development of the internet and the tech used to access and engage on the internet. Entirely new forms of currency and the rise in remote and hybrid work being just two of the most important developments in this regard.
Essential tech so that you too can be part of this ongoing revolution
If you and your business or family are to be a part of what’s happening on the internet, then you will need a few basics. The first is a change in mindset. The thinking was that screen time and access to tech in the home needed to be monitored and controlled – yes this is still true, but tech must be introduced as early as is possible and its uses explored with young people. One of the best examples of tech that will allow you to do just this is a Lenovo kids tablet. The idea is to be able to create an understanding and love of the technology as soon as possible. Just as we introduced learning toys and tools, so too should we be allowing access to tech in the nursery and beyond.
Uninterrupted internet access
Gone are the days (and thankfully so) when you needed to be indoors or connected to Wi-Fi (that you needed to log onto). Access to the internet is generally becoming more available and in more places than you could imagine. It is the basis if the information highway and as such you need to be on it to participate.
Updated hardware and software
The hardware (tablets, laptops, phones and more) need to be as up to date as is possible in terms of their operating systems and connect ability, storage and security.
These are the basics that you will need to stay abreast of the ongoing changes and improvements to the data and information age. It is in keeping abreast in terms of the theory, software and hardware related to internet access, information, education and entertainment that you will manage your way through and beyond the information age.
