Along the way points are marked for significant things that happened, such as invention of invention of the telegraph and development of photography and the invention of television and later the computer as a electronic data processing device. The Information Age gained significance in a relatively short time, as did the Industrial Age, in the scope of history.
The practice of industrial development was spawned by The Industrial Age. The 100 years of of development of the Information Age and its intersection with the decline of industrialization in the US morphed industrial development into economic development. The timeframe paralleled the development of hyper commercialism, so much so that the practice of economic development was identified by the American Industrial Development Council as a specialized form of marketing in 1991. Use of the term hypercommercialism does not imply agreement with postulates or opinions expressed as to whether it is a good or bad thing.
