Yes, I think it's OK. Probably you know this, but in English we do not use these marks: « ... ».

It's OK, but you might consider "maturity" or "has matured." or even " has settled down from its exuberant "dot-com" days."

Thank you very much GPY and AlpheccaStar for the answers and for the additional suggestions.

I think that it does sound better like this:

"The 'Information Age' has reached maturity."


Please GPY, please tell me if I used que quotation marks correctly.

...also, I just realized that both of you wrote "OK"... does it mean that it must always be written in capital letters?

Do the letters in "OK" mean anything? Is it an acronym?

Thanks again.

If you are quoting the whole sentence, and "Information Age" is individually quoted within the sentence, then that's correct.

Whether or not "Information Age" needs quotation marks depends on context and author choice.

In my opinion it should properly be written in capital letters.

The origin of "OK" is uncertain. See

Maybe you could say The Information Age (or the Age of Information) has reached it's peak.

I'm not so sure. But there is a site I know that could help you learn more everything and anything about English in a more informative and fun way.

Here is the link a friend of mine has given me: http://global.epiclangu

Not unless you removed the apostrophe.

And you pay for all their services. There are many such commercial sites.
