To understand the reasons that lead to the 4th industrial revolution, it is fundamental to understand previous revolutions.
The 1st industrial revolution (1760 – 1850) began in Great Britain, and many of the technological innovations were of British origin.
The Second Industrial Revolution (1870 – 1914) was a period of rapid industrial development, primarily in Britain, Germany and the United States, but also in France, Italy and Japan.
The 3rd industrial revolution began in the 1960s. It is usually called the computer or digital revolution because it was catalyzed by the development of semiconductors, mainframe computing (1960s), personal computing (1970s and ’80s) and the internet (1990s). And what about the 4th industrial revolution?
