What is the New Age?

Many differing definitions, but ultimately it is a radical shift from Business

As Usual or the “Status Quo”.

Historical Backgound Perspective on Change

Agriculture Revolution – 10,000BC

Industrial Revolution – circa 1800s

Digital Revolution – circa 1980s forward

Informational Revolution/New Digital Era (now)

World’s Knowledge Base Rate of Change is increasing exponentially

It took it 1500 years to double from 1AD – 1500

It doubled again in 250 years from 1500-1750

It doubled again in 150 years from 1750-1900

It is now doubling every two years & increasing.
