DIGITAL AGE Humanity has gone through 6 great stages: Stone Age (2. 500 . 000 BC ). C . - 6000 BC. C . ) Metal Age (6000 BC). C . - 3300 BC. C . ) Ancient Age ( 3300 BC . C . - 476 AD C . ) . . . Middle Ages ( 476 AD . C . - 1492 AD C . ) . . . Modern Age ( 1492 AD . C . - 1789 AD C . ) . . . Contemporary Age (1789 AD) C . - today) The contemporary age has had an industrial age, a digital age and an age of knowledge. The digital age or era in which all existing information is converted to binary digits, is the one that all information is possible to be handled by electronic means, in large volumes and high speeds, and be processed at speeds unimaginable just a few years ago. Billions of data from outer space can be processed in minutes, which a few years ago took months and required hundreds of CPUs. At the end of the second war it was impossible to carry out. This is valid in the field of BIG DATA, transactions of any kind, such as nuclear physics, microbiology, geology, commercial transactions, statistics, genetics or any area that generates a large amount of information.
