Abstract
There is much talk about this being the Age of Information and about a Post-Industrial Revolution centered on information processing. But what exactly is information? Jon Barwise has drawn a potentially unflattering analogy between the Bronze Age and the Information Age. People in the Bronze Age were quite expert at working with bronze, but it was a long time after the end of the Bronze Age that scientists were able to determine the true nature of bronze.
