Well, the term “information” doesn’t really say anything about the truth contained in this information. The term Information Age is just about access to data and communication, not about their use or moral value.
Just like the term Stone Age doesn’t say anything about whether stone was used to make tools or weapons (it was both, just like bronze in the Bronze Age and iron in the Iron Age).
I know this is nitpicky on the verge of derailment but I think it’s important to see this in context. When we thought information technology would usher in an age of reason we were being naive. I’m sure there were those that thought the new technology of bronze would bring a new era of peace and prosperity.
