The age we live in now is called by some the "Age of Information", as opposed to for example the Stone Age or the Industrial Age.

It is a reference to how information today flows very quickly on electronic networks like internet, and how the amount of information available has exploded along with its availability.

The idea is that "information" will be the defining characteristic of our time, just as much as iron tools were for the Iron Age and factories for the Industrial Age.
