The Fourth Industrial Revolution


  v  Define The Term Industrial Revolution

      The industrial revolution is a radical and fast-developing human change in making work equipment to increase production or industrial output. The Industrial Revolution runs between 1750-1850 which has been running on a large scale in the fields of agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation and technology and also related to social, economic, and cultural in the world.
      This industrial revolution began from Great Britain (England), then targeted throughout Western Europe, North America, Japan, and spread throughout the world. In short, the resolution of the Industrial Revolution is how to produce goods that use human power to switch to engine power.

Industrial Revolution
   
The Fourth Industrial Revolution 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. It’s the collective force behind many products and services that are fast becoming indispensable to modern life. Think GPS systems that suggest the fastest route to a destination, voice-activated virtual assistants such as Apple’s Siri, personalized Netflix recommendations, and Facebook’s ability to recognize your face and tag you in a friend’s photo.

       As a result of this perfect storm of technologies, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is paving the way for transformative changes in the way we live and radically disrupting almost every business sector. And it’s all happening at an unprecedented, whirlwind pace.

v  Describe Each Of The First Three Industrial Revolutions

        Nearly a century later, in the second half of the 20th century, a third industrial revolution appeared with the emergence of a new type of energy whose potential surpassed its predecessors: nuclear energy. This revolution witnessed the rise of electronics—with the transistor and microprocessor—but also the rise of telecommunications and computers. This new technology led to the production of miniaturized material which would open doors, most notably to space research and biotechnology. For industry, this revolution gave rise to the era of high-level automation in production thanks to two major inventions: automatons—programmable logic controllers (PLCs)—and robots.
        The first industrial revolution used water and steam to mechanize production, the second used electric energy to create mass production and the third used electronics and information technology to automate production. Today a fourth industrial revolution is underway which builds upon the third revolution and the digital revolution that has been taking place since the middle of the last century. This fourth revolution with exponential expansion is characterized by merging technology that blurs the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres to completely uproot industries all over the world. The extent and depth of these changes are a sign of transformations to entire production, management and governance systems.

  v  Describe The Impact Each Industrial Revolution Had On Society


1. Development of urbanization The development of industrialization has given rise to new cities and centers. Because the
city with its industrial activities promises a more decent life, many village farmers go to the
city to get jobs.This resulted in the neglect of agricultural activities.

2. Low labor costs As a result of the
increasing flow of urbanization to industrial cities, the number of workers is
increasingly abundant. Meanwhile, many factories use engine power. Thus, labor costs are cheap. In addition, social security is reduced so that their lives become difficult. In fact, many employers choose female and child laborers whose wages are cheaper. 

3. The emergence of groups of employers and groups of workers
In industrialization activities there are known groups of workers (laborers) and groups of entrepreneurs (employers) who own industries or factories. Thus, in a new community arises, namely the class of entrepreneurs (capitalists) who live full of luxury and groups of workers who live in poverty.

4. There is a gap between employers and workers
With the emergence of a group of businessmen who live luxuriously on the one hand, while
there are groups of workers who live suffering on the other side, then this creates a gap between
employers and workers. Such conditions often lead to tensions that are followed by work strikes to demand improved fate. This gave rise to hatred towards the capitalist
economic system, so that workers leaned on socialist ideas.

The stronger the nature of individualism and the depletion of a sense of solidarity. With the
existence of the Industrial Revolution, the nature of individuality is stronger because
it is influenced by the money economy system of the industry. Conversely, the depletion of a sense of solidarity and family. 

Explain How The Scope Of
The Fourth Industrial Revolution Differs From Those Of The First Time
 
The industrial revolution has had a great influence on the development of the lives of the
British people and the people of the world. The industrial revolution produced ways to use
production methods and new patterns in economic life and provided some changes in the goods industry and in trade.

This has a positive and negative impact on the community. Various companies produced by the
industrialization process influence the development of transportation, communication and trade.
Although great wealth has been generated, the distribution of wealth cannot be achieved evenly and social inequality occurs. Communities living in industrial estates face various
problems such as pollution, congestion, noise, and slums. With the industrial revolution, the
machine age began. The rhythm of the machine has changed the style of our world to this day.
