The modern world could be defined not as the Bronze or Iron Age but as the Ink Age – because words were the most powerful resource, beginning with the Renaissance and Reformation, through the Enlightenment and into the era of mass media through radio, television and information technology. This trajectory already indicates that words have been turned into pictures and images as a primary form of communication.

Those who were very skilled with words and image creation in this ‘Ink Age’ have often enjoyed a level of power, prestige and pay that lifted them into elite status.
