Industrial Revolution and Its Types

The document discusses the four industrial revolutions that have shaped modern economies: 1) The first industrial revolution began in the late 18th century, driven by new steam engine and mechanization technologies. This transitioned economies from agriculture to industry. 2) The second industrial revolution in the late 19th century was powered by new sources like electricity, oil, and gas. It brought mass production, new communication technologies, and the rise of the automobile and airplane. 3) The third industrial revolution emerged in the mid-20th century using new technologies like electronics, computing, and nuclear energy to enable space exploration and biotechnology. 4) The fourth industrial revolution, also called Industry 4.0, began

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND ITS TYPES

DEFINITION;
A rapid major change in an economy (as in England in the late 18th century) marked
by the general introduction of power-driven machinery.
In modern history, the process of change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one
dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. ... This process began in Britain in the 18th
century and from there spread to other parts of the world.
The Industrial Revolution was a time when the manufacturing of goods moved from small
shops and homes to large factories. This shift brought about changes in culture as people
moved from rural areas to big cities in order to work.

TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

The first Industrial Revolution 1765


The first industrial revolution followed the proto-industrialization period. It started
at the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th. The biggest changes
came in the industries in the form of mechanization. Mechanization was the
reason why agriculture started to be replaced by the industry as the backbone of
the societal economy.
At the time people witnessed massive extraction of coal along with the very
important invention of the steam engine that was the reason for the creation of a
new type of energy that later on helped speed up the manufacturing of railroads
thus accelerating the economy.

SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION


Following the first Industrial Revolution, almost a century later we see the world
go through the second. It started at the end of the 19th century, with massive
technological advancements in the field of industries that helped the emergence
of a new source of energy. Electricity, gas, and oil.
The result of this revolution was the creation of the internal combustion engine
that started to reach its full potential. Other important points of the second
industrial revolution was the development for steel demand, chemical synthesis
and methods of communication such as the telegraph and the telephone.
Finally, the inventions of the automobile, and the plane in the beginning of the
20th century are the reason why, to this day, the Second Industrial Revolution is
considered the most important one!
The Third Industrial Revolution 1969
Another century passes and we bear witness to the Third Industrial Revolution.
In the second half of the 20th century, we see the emergence of yet another
source of untapped, at the time, energy. Nuclear energy!
The third revolution brought forth the rise of electronics, telecommunications
and of course computers. Through the new technologies, the third industrial
revolution opened the doors to space expeditions, research, and biotechnology.
In the world of the industries, two major inventions, Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs) and Robots helped give rise to an era of high-level
automation.

Industry 4.0
For many people, Industry 4.0 is the fourth Industrial Revolution. If we were to
view Industry 4.0 as a revolution then we would have to admit that it is a
revolution happening right now. We are experiencing it every day and its
magnitude is yet unknown.
Industry 4.0 started in the dawn of the third millennium with the one thing that
everyone uses every single day. The Internet. We can see the transition from
the first industrial revolution that rooted for technological phenomenon all the way
to Industry 4.0 that develops virtual reality worlds, allowing us to bend the laws of
physics.
is a way of describing the blurring of boundaries between the physical,
digital, and biological worlds. It's a fusion of advances in artificial
intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, genetic
engineering, quantum computing, and other technologies.

The 4 Industrial Revolutions shape the world. Worldwide economies are based
on them. There are programmes and projects being implemented all around the
world, focusing on helping people take advantage of the marvels of the fourth
revolution during their everyday lives.
