Slide 9: The Content Age - The Democratization of Creation

Explanation: This slide marks the moment the tools of production and distribution truly fell into the hands of the individual. If the Information Age was about organizing existing knowledge, the Content Age was about creating and monetizing new knowledge and creativity directly. The term "Techno-Info-Edutainment" perfectly captures this fusion of technology, information, and personal expression. This era saw the birth of the influencer, the online educator, and the independent musician—proving that a person with valuable knowledge or a compelling talent could build an audience and a business without a corporate intermediary, dramatically accelerating the pace at which personal brands and niche expertise could be scaled.
