Do you know the Four Industrial Revolutions?

To understand the reasons that lead to the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is fundamental to understand previous revolutions.

The First 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 Third 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).
