Technology is not restricted to one single phase at all. It originated in the Nomadic age (0-1650), where people were engaged in harvesting food by means of stone tools.

The third was the Industrial Age (1900-1960), which used to build material goods with machine tools and steam engines.  

Service Phase, (1960-1975), being the fourth phase, was concerned for the growth and development of the computers. The next was the Information phase (1975-2000).  It dealt with the intellectual development of the tools of thinking as well as design. The tools included the computer, internet as well as the applications related to that. The last phase was Semantic phase that focuses on the world of networking, internet and social media across the globe.
