    Strand 1: The Industrial Age (The Second Wave)

    Between 1650 and 1750 the industrial revolution moved from being focused upon working the land to production of goods. People moved to cities to find work that was not tied to farming and families began to disperse. At this time, people began to get their energy from the earth's resources that were not renewable-coal, gas, and oil New technologies were powered by energies sources that were consumable (Toffler, 1980, p. 25).

    Because of the increasing dependence upon energy sources that are being depleted, societies needed to look to moving into less dependence upon fossil fuels. The Information Age is characterized by work that is characterized by service rather than industry, leading to less dependence upon fuels and more dependence on information sources. http://www.cyta.com.ar/biblioteca/bddoc/bdlibros/hitoria_internet/internet.htm http://www.booknotes.org/Watch/63955-1/Alvin+Toffler.aspx

    The Artificial Age is a term that I have coined to describe the way that our society is trying to modify existing states into artificial states to mimic reality. I believe that this was sparked with the cloning of Dolly, the sheep in 1996. It includes biotechnologies that are used to manipulate the human biological state so as to enhance the quality of life.

    Strand 1: The Agricultural Age (The First Wave)

    The Agricultural Age began around 8000 BC as people transitioned from being hunters and gatherers to farmers who tended to the land to produce their food. The people of those times relied on natural sources of energy that were replaceable-human and animals, sun, water, and wind-to fuel their technological advancements (Toffler, 1980, p. 25)
