Industrial Age vs. Information Age

By: Taneshia Johnson-Ervin

 
So we’re transcending from the industrial age, the age I was born into, to the information age, and I must say, it is pretty scary. Yes, I’m young and I have time to adjust, but life, as we know it, is completely changing. It’s a scary reality for me because life is becoming so impersonal. We’ve become a society addicted to digital connection. Eventually there will be no use for human labor, and I don’t know if that is necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, but I do know that human connection is absolutely essential to suitable maturity. Call me old school, (you cant because I’m young) but I’m not ready for this!
