Adefaye Ayodeji

If you are familiar with human history, you would know about various ages such as the Ice Age, Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, and so on.

In relation to this topic, we have the term "Silicon Age." Silicon, as a chemical element, stands out for its properties associated with computing, such as conductivity and storage. Although silicon is not the only element with these properties, it is one of the most important ones. That's why it is widely used in electrical and electronic devices, including computers and other components.

Therefore, the current era in the timeline of ages is referred to as "The Silicon Age" (also known as the Information Age). The Silicon Age denotes the period when computers and electronic devices have become widespread and integral to many aspects of modern life. It is characterized by the extensive use of silicon-based microchips, which are vital components enabling complex calculations and tasks in electronic devices.

It is an undeniable fact that computer as affected all other spheres of life and system - the political, the religious/spiritual, the health, the military/defense, the scientific/technological, the education/research, economy, social...  we could mention & mention, anything you could think of, you will surely see the influence of computer in such system.

The silicon age has brought about many technological advancements and has had a significant impact on society and the way we live and work. It has also led to the development of new industries and the transformation of traditional ones. The approach to life in the silicon age is heavily reliant on technology and the use of electronic devices, and it has changed the way we communicate, access information, and interact with each other.
