How they respond to this dilema is one of the fundamental challenges of the Information Age and will shape the marketplace for years to come.
***********
In the American Heritage Dictionary of the Eng Language 4th Edition 2000 I found the following references - all nouns
ice age (not cap) A cold period...
Ice Age (Cap) The most recent glacial period...
Bronze Age (Cap) A period of human culture...
Iron Age (Cap) The period in cultural development...
information age (not cap) The period beginning around 1970...
***********
Each of these terms are nouns, each describes a period of time. Why does the dictionary capitalize some and not others? For "information age" would either way (cap or not) be proper? How do you make the distinction?
Thanks! :?
