The first industrial revolution used the power of water and steam to mechanize production. The second used electrical energy to give rise to mass production. The third industrial revolution used information technology and electronics to automate production. Currently, we are in the middle of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), also known as the digital revolution, characterized by the fusion of the digital, biological, and physical worlds, as well as the growing use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, cloud computing, 3D printing, internet of things (IoT), and advanced wireless technology.
