This phase took about a 1000 years to phase out. • Today’s society no longer emphasises on the agriculture revolution. However, a few tribal population such as New Guinea, and South America still practices this (Toffler,1980,p 13). • The possession of land equated to power, structure of family unit, culture, life, politics and the basis of economy (Toffler 1980,p. 21). • Community produced their desired food and the economy was decentralized(Toffler,1980,p. 21). • Family unit was huge and was required to work on the land. • Education was limited and the communication used was the oral tradition. Agricultural Era 8000 b.c- 1750
This is a major era.
