Sample rendering

I am going to render the contents of the article under the title “The first and the second information revolutions”. It is taken from the newspaper The Financial Times’. The author of this article Tony Jackson focuses on the importance of technological changes that have affected us recently. He describes the conference about the information revolution where the management guru Peter Drucker was one of the main speakers.

The central part of the article is devoted to the differences between the two information revolutions and the Industrial revolution. According to Drunker the first information revolution – the invention of moveable type of printing – was more profound than the Industrial Revolution. The second information revolution – the personal computer - should be compared in its effect to the first one. In Drucker’s view there are two key differences between the two information revolutions and the Industrial Revolution. Unlike the Industrial Revolution, the first information revolution spread much faster. The Industrial Revolution caused goods to be much cheaper, but there were no totally new goods.

In the final part of the article the author compares the roles and importance of the revolutions. He thinks that the first really new product of the Industrial Revolution was the railway, but changes in book and map production due to the invention of printing were much more profound.

In conclusion I’d like to say that I find the article fairly infesting and I absolutely agree with the author that the great discoveries couldn’t have been made without the invention of printing.
