Thomas+Jacobs+-+Rise+of+the+Fourth+Age

=Module 1 - Of Strings And Ages= The timeline reflects the Three Waves as presented by Toffler (1980). These overlapping waves include the Agricultural Age, the Industrial Age, and the Information Age. I posit that a Fourth Wave, the Contextual Age, has been developing since 1993-1994 with the emergence of the World Wide Web. This age is marked by the desire to mine hyper-contextualized information in the pursuit of knowledge, business, and socialization.
