However, I know of another description. This is the Age of Fear.
Information travels faster than ever before.
News of a drop in the Dow, airplane crash, or school shooting arrives within minutes in our living rooms. If I need statistics, a plane reservation, or a DVD player I just need to say Hello to the World Wide Web. However the Internet is not limited to being a research and commerce tool. Market entry is not an issue with the Internet. Its size and anarchic nature make it appealing to anyone with a cause to preach.
