Each age in human history has a name. And this name is derived from the powerful forces that shape it or shaped it. Earlier we had atomic age, plastic age, information age, industrial age and stone age much earlier. Our present age can be called " Link Age". This age is characterized by increasingly growing computing and communication networks. These networks are connecting more and more people and there by creating a new world order. This new world order is called online world, cyber world or many other fancy names.
This online world is characterized by it's ability to to connect people without any regard to time, distance and sometimes even language. And not only people, it can also connect people to resources - information and tools - by use of what is known as hyper-links. These hyper links are "transportation systems " of new age. One can study at home because these hyper links enable you to transport study materials, or one can work-from-home because work can be transported to home or any place of choice. This new " Link-Age" has potential to shape new things and transform everything we know and everything we do.
