The Sixth Industrial Revolution
See wiki, as currently understood and generally accepted:
- first industrial revolution: 1760 - 1840; ended in the middle of the 19th century; inventions; advancements in textiles; age of inventions;
- second industrial revolution: advancements in manufacturing processes; 1870 - 1914 (beginning of WWI); age of mass manufacturing;
- third industrial revolution: beginning in 1947, information age; computer coming out of WWII; Colossus, Bletchley Park;
- fourth industrial revolution: rapid technological advancement beginning in the late 1990s; the Age of Apple (or the personal computer).
Much better:
- first industrial revolution: ended in the middle of the 19th century; age of invention;
- second industrial revolution: 1870 - 1914 (beginning of WWI); age of Henry Ford, mass manufacturing;
- third industrial
revolution: peri-WWI -- the age of conventional manufacturing and
logistics; rise of synthetics and the oil and gas industry; age of Standard Oil (or the age of John D Rockefeller);
- fourth industrial revolution: beginning in 1947, information age; the computer age (or the age of Turing);
- fifth industrial
revolution: rapid technological advancement beginning in the late 1990s
-- maybe it began in 1984 with the (in)famous Apple commercial; age of Apple (or the age of Steve Jobs)
The
question is whether "we" have entered the sixth industrial revolution:
Nvidia blades; LDCs; a return to nuclear energy to meet energy needs of
the information age. If so:
- sixth industrial revolution: artificial intelligence enters its stride; the "Nvidia revolution."
It's hard for me to accept that the need for nuclear energy to meet the needs of LDCs does not signify a new industrial revolution.
Note: "the Nvidia revolution" is a metonym for the artificial intelligence advancements that began in the early 2020s.
