Toffler’s Three Waves Timeline 1700 – Clash of the Agricultural Age & Industrial Age 1800 – Industrial Age 1955- Shift from the Industrial Age to the Information Age 8000 B.C. – Agricultural Age It is my belief that we have not entered a 4th wave. I believe that the communication age is only an advanced extension of the information age, and that our next wave will be a biotechnological age.
