Information age, to me, simply means going for tangible objects to, well, information as the basis of economy. I love free and open source software, don't get me wrong. But right now, it's still a tiny portion of what's out there. Most of the music, books, magazines and research is still "locked up" behind patents, copyright (with harsh licences) and the likes.
Computers and instant international communication are the primary contributors.
