4-5 page essay

Essay prompt:

What is the Information Revolution and how has it evolved in the last decades regarding its foundational features and its relationship with technology, culture, the economy or news media? Can you explain its origins and which are the most important aspects of this process? What are the two basic perspectives about this process and which one would you support? How would you relate the so-called neoliberal turn with the Information Revolution and its associated dynamics in all these years? Use a comparative perspective and examples to illustrate your arguments and analysis. Word limit (1200-1500) Source: Use 3 sources( reading) I attached, no limit for using other sources. Please read the class ppt as well, which helps you understand the topic

notes: you need to read Castells, McChesney,and Monbiot (about neoliberalism), if you want your essay to fully respond those questions I introduced in the prompt.

Please make sure you include the neoliberalism ( not liberalism)

The ppt will help you understand the information revolution, and you must use all of these three readings to analyze it.
