The "Age Comparison" section of the University is critical to our understanding the changes taking place in our world right now, we are in an Age Change. This has only happened twice before in the last 12,000 years; the transition from Wilderness to Agriculture, then agriculture to Industrial, now we are moving to something entirely new - an Information Age.

The last precedent comparable to what we face today was the transition between the Agricultural & Industrial Ages, brought on in large part by the Printing Press - a "signature technology" very akin to today's Internet.

If what we believe is true, it is not just another economic cycle of the Industrial Age money system causing the foreclosures, global debt, and extreme poverty; it is this Age Transition, and that is an entirely different context.
All "Age Transitions" have two distinct phases:
Phase 1: Collapse of the old system, a Dark Age requiring the demise of what we know, and then
Phase 2: Renaissance of the new system, designed to meet current conditions into which we have evolved.

Comparison Chart of the Ages:

Wilderness	Agricultural	Industrial	Information
Labor consists of hunting and gathering.	Labor is on the land as a farmer, generally as a Serf.	Labor moves into factories and away from farming.	Labor is based on knowledge. People work from Anywhere.
Money is food and art that is traded.	Money is gold coin.	Money is paper.	Money is digital.
Migration is based on climate changes and availability of food.	Migration is to farmlands and markets.	Migration to New World Colonies, and then towns with factories.	Migration of assets is to Cyberspace. Havens of "economic" citizenship.
Communications are face to face.	Communications are face to face.	Communications are face to face, through travel and letter writing.	Communications are global with immediate delivery.
Assets are mobile.	Assets are stationary.	Assets are stationary.	Assets are mobile.

In every Age Transition throughout history, the process of change has been one of great difficulty for most of the planet - for those who understood it great profits in the emergent system were often the outcome - irrespective of whether you prosper or perish during the change-over (transition), ultimately you should prepare for the old form of governance (law), money (gold to paper), and social structure to be replaced with a new model appropriate to the new Information Age.

Now we are entering the Information Age, the current transition period we are in is called "Globalization"; it is akin to that of the Dark Ages brought on by the transition from Agriculture to Industrialization since the start of a transition is always destructive in order to make space for the new. The good news is that a Renaissance and Enlightenment inevitably blooms out of the darkness just as it did in the last Age change.

Once we have a socio-economic model that utilizes the full potential for people to live in prosperity, harmony, and balance with nature due to Information Age technology, then we will find ourselves experiencing a global Renaissance.

Age	Information Age: Current Age. Information as pure content, is what it is, without judgment.	Industrial Age: Citizenry as "Legal Bodies" (Straw-Man) are Legal Fictions, not living People.	Agricultural Age: Creative expression of tools imagined by Mind then manifested by the body.	Wilderness Age: Man lived by hunting & Gathering from the physical landscape, physical bodies were free.	Information Age: Digital Bodies are global, ephemeral, self defining, and as free as the contract allows for.
Current Energy: Money Medium	E-motion, Feeling, Experience.	Debt Money, fiat-ed into existence against the future extraction of Earths or Living Peoples resources.	Thought, be it blessings (good vibes) or cursing (bad vibes). It is the thought attention as waves directed to you, and from you.	Time, Labor, Attention as transformed into debt dollars in the form of paper notes or bank book-keeping credits.	Information in the form of music, knowledge (consulting), video, programming, art, and writing are transformed to "Digital Credits."
Law Principles	Universal Natural Laws: Pattern, Precision, and Regularity. This creates a field where Mind may function to continue the creation process.	Legal is not Lawful, the rules here have principles that rulers may or may not employ.	Universal Wave-Form Laws: Thoughts as waves Clash, Reflect, Penetrate to create the experience of physical reality.	Combination of Natural Laws like gravity, and Legal Rules that determine who can incarcerate your physical body and for what.	Universal "Digital Programming" Laws: Pattern, Precision, Regularity, and equality for all.

It is time to relieve the pressures on people and the environment caused by the Industrial Age model, by evolving a complimentary Information Age economic system where value is not based on natural resources but on Information, a system where everyone is treated and compensated equally.

Prosperity Program in conjunction with various Peace Partners (including the Free Digital University), was initiated to meet just this bold goal.
