From the Program for the Future Conference comes a mural of “Co-Evolution of Human Systems and Tool Systems,” that is, “the landscape of our era, beginning with 1925, the year of Dr. Douglas C. Engelbart’s birth”:

Detail:

Subsequent “shifts” include the “Shift from Industrial Age to Information Age” (ca. 1955–1958), the “Shift from Information Age to Knowledge Age” (ca. 1976–1980), and the “Shift from Knowledge Age to Conceptual Age” (ca. 1998–2002).

(Background videos about the mural are here, for those with a cast-iron historical consciousness.)
