Has information evolved?

After reading a chapter in a book labeled, “Information as a resource,” I considered the evolution of information. Centuries ago, the majority of civilization could only comprehend information through oral means. Then literacy changed information being majority word-of-mouth to being written down. Presently, information can be presented in music, the internet, pictures, paintings, books, newspaper, etc. The availability and accuracy of information has improved considerably throughout history. The internet provides nearly instantaneous information; however, not always accurate. You can receive textbooks or journals that have written about the most precise types of information, often offered online for a fee. Information is an everyday resource that has evolved into being accessible 24 hours a day.
