6. Historical Significance of the Industrial
Revolution
❑The Industrial Revolution changed human life
drastically
❑More was created in the last 250+ years than in the
previous 2500+ years of known human history

7. Industrial Revolution
• Scientific Revolution
• Intellectual Revolution
• Encouraged learning and the search for better and newer
ways of doing things
• Agricultural Revolution
• Landowners experimented in their enclosures
• Seed drill
• Crop rotation
• Livestock breeding

9. Impacting all
aspects of
value chain

10. ▪ Big areas of concern including increased
inequality, security threats,
Unemployment due to automation
And challenges to identity and
community.
❑ AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a significant
component (Catalyst)of the fourth
industrial revolution but is not the sole
defining factor.
“Think value, not tech”

11. ❑ the integration of digital technologies into
various aspects of life.
❑ However, the fourth industrial revolution
differs from previous revolutions ( the speed,
scale, and impact of technological
advancements.
❑
❑ The fourth industrial revolution is marked by
the rapid pace of innovation
❑ The previous industrial revolutions were characterized by
significant technological advancements that transformed society
and the economy.
❑ Each revolution introduced new technologies and modes of
production, leading to increased productivity and economic
growth.
❑ the nature of the technologies: The previous industrial
revolutions primarily focused on mechanization and automation,
which led to increased productivity and efficiency. In contrast,
the fourth industrial revolution involves the integration of
physical, digital, and biological systems, leading to the
emergence of "cyber-physical systems
