Abstract: Abstract A popular theory and explanation of the contemporary changes occurring around us is that we are in the midst of a third major revolution in human civilization, i.e., a Third Wave. First there was the Agricultural Revolution, then the Industrial Revolution, and now we are in the Information Revolution. Yet we are, in fact, in the middle of a revolutionary jump. Information and communication technology and a worldwide system of information exchange have been building growth for over a 100 years. Information technology (IT) is playing a crucial role in contemporary society. It has transformed the whole world into a global village with a global economy.
