Answer 1

The "Information Revolution" can absolutely be considered a true revolution. This is because the information revolution brought a radical change in regards to American society.

In just the last 20 years, the way Americans have been able to communicate and receive news has changed dramatically. The development of the internet and its ability to share information with millions of individuals simultaneously has changed the world forever. Before the invention of the internet, people were limited to information from TV, books, newspapers, etc. Now, citizens have access to more information than any other time in human history. Instead of seeking out books in libraries or newspapers, citizens rely on social media and websites that have everything they want to know.
