Information renaissance
As I searched for what the term Information renaissance meant, I realized that it is just a rebirth of information. More or less an explosion of technology and information in the world today.
So I searched for some articles on this topic and came across this one!

This article is called Mobile, Broadband, Ubiquitous, and the Information Renaissance by Kouji Ohboshi. The author discusses how the Internet has developed into a global phenomenon. He also states that the information-oriented society has evolved from a technological novelty into a major force fueling the transformation of society. I agree with him since it is true that the information society is starting to move into a different direction rather than just the normal expansion. The Internet-oriented society is by far having an increasing qualitative impact on people’s lives by supporting greater diversity and popular value-added capabilities. “Overcoming the flat dissemination of knowledge and information and the unavailability of information on both supply and demand sides of the market will create an information society that awakens public knowledge and opens up a vast wealth of information; indeed, this will create a self-actualization society that can be fairly characterized as an information society renaissance” (Kouji Ohboshi). Overall, I feel that the information renaissance is where we are right now. The expansion of the information communication field and the recent technology advances and how they are all being implemented today.
