A theory of radical transformation of society through technological development

From Greek "tekhnologia" meaning systematic treatment of an art, craft, or technique; originally referring to grammar, then "tekhne" (art or craft) + "logia" (discourse or study)

The process of developing by gradual changes; from Latin "evolutio" meaning "unrolling or opening," combined from prefix "e-" (out) + "volvere" (to roll)

A period of major industrialization and innovation that took place from the late 1700s to early 1800s

In britain specifically England with a series of inventions to make labor more efficient and productive

From the manufacturing of goods from small shops and homes to large factories

First (1.0), Second (2.0), Third (3.0), Fourth (4.0)

Began in 1760s; transition to new manufacturing processes; included going from hand production methods to machines, increasing use of steam power, development of machine tools, and rise of the factory system

Also known as the Technological Revolution; began in the 1870s; advancements in manufacturing interchangeable parts and pre-existing technological systems such as telegraph and railroad networks; introduction of new technological systems like electrical power and telephones

Began from the late 1950s; transition from mechanical and analog electronic technology to digital electronics; also called the Digital Revolution; core feature is the shift towards digitalization; mass production and widespread use of digital logic circuits and derived technologies such as computers, semiconductors, and the internet

Advances in various technologies such as robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), additive manufacturing, and autonomous vehicles; term coined by Klaus Schwab in 2016; technologies are highly integrated with computer-based algorithms, tightly integrated with human and its users

The Steam Engine, The Railroad, The Diesel Engine, The Airplane, The Telegraph, The Transatlantic Cable, The Phonograph, The Telephone, The Cotton Gin, The Sewing Machine, Electric Lights

Primary industry (getting raw materials e.g. mining, farming, fishing), Secondary industry (manufacturing e.g. making cars and steel), Tertiary industry (providing a service e.g. teaching and nursing), Quaternary industry (involves research and development industries e.g. IT)

Significant social and economic effects; radical transformation of society through technological development; changes in culture as people moved from rural areas to big cities to work

Began in Britain; first spread to the rest of Europe, then to the United States

Began in the late 1700s before spreading to the rest of Europe; first country to industrialize after England was Belgium, France, and the German states; the final cause of the Industrial Revolution was the effects created by the Agricultural Revolution

It was an increase in food production, which was the key beginning of the Agricultural Revolution leading into the Industrial Revolution

IR 4.0 focuses on highly integrated cyber-physical systems where computers, algorithms, and humans are tightly connected, while IR 3.0 introduced digital electronics and the shift to digitalization

The development of machine tools and the rise of the factory system powered by steam engines

Electrical power and telephones

The proliferation of digital computers and digital record

Human to human computer Interaction (implied as HMI/HCI in the chapter introduction)

Autonomous Vehicles and Automated Robots

anybody Connected Devices (ABCD)

Activity 1.5 - Discuss about Agricultural Revolutions and level of the industrial revolution in Ethiopia and also compare with UK, USA, and China

Data

An emerging technology; the so-called fourth industrial revolution

The potential of data science and analytics to enable data-driven theory, economy, and professional development

Computing, informatics, and statistics, but also the broad-based fields of business, social science, and health/medical science

A computer that makes a computer a computer; it follows a set of instructions; many electronic devices we use today perform only one operation but are still following instructions that reside permanently in the unit

A full range of network-related equipment referred to as Service Enabling Devices (SEDs)

Traditional channel service unit (CSU) and data service unit (DSU), Modems, Routers, Switches, Conferencing equipment, Network appliances (NDAs and UDOs), Hosting equipment and servers

The communication and interaction between a human and a machine via a user interface; natural machines such as gestures and intuitive behaviors allow humans to control machines through natural and intuitive behaviors

The study of how people interact with computers and to what extent computers are or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings

Its name implies, HCI consists of three parts: the user, the computer itself, and the ways they work together

Through the human input and output such as displays, e.g. through a graphical user interface; the user interacts with the computer over this software interface using the given input and output (I/O) hardware

To improve the interaction between users and computers by making computers more user-friendly and receptive to the user's needs; the main advantages of HCI are simplicity, ease of deployment & operations and cost savings for smaller set-ups; they also reduce reaction time and integration complexity

Cognitive psychology, Linguistics, Information processing, performance prediction, comparative computing, and capabilities; Computer science: including graphics, technology, prototyping tools, user interface management systems; Linguistics; Engineering and design; Artificial intelligence; Human factors

Activity 1.6 - Which emerging technologies will have more effect on our day to day life & business?

So-called emerging technologies are taking over our minds more and more even determining our very high level emerging technologies though; they sound like tools that will only affect the top tier of technology companies who employ the world's top 1% of geniuses; this is totally wrong; Chatbots, virtual/augmented reality, blockchain, Ephemeral Apps and Artificial Intelligence are already shaping your life whether you like it or not; at the end of the day, you can either adapt or be left behind

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines; machines operated by giving it instructions using a computer; another major breakthrough associated with IR 4.0 is the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), where we can see it being implemented into our smartphones

anybody Connected Devices

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Data is regarded as the new oil and strategic asset since we are living in the age of big data, and data drives everything in our world today and tomorrow

Tremendous challenges for in turn being incredible innovation and economic opportunities; this reshaping and paradigm-shifting are driven not just by itself but all other aspects that could be created, transformed, and/or adjusted by understanding, exploring, and utilizing data

To enable data-driven theory, economy, and professional development; it increasingly becoming; this involves not only core disciplines such as computing, informatics, and statistics, but also the broad-based fields of business, social science, and health/medical science

Memory, microprocessors, logic, and networks

Software instructions such as a set of a spreadsheet or database; microprocessors execute software instructions to perform a wide variety of tasks such as running a word-processing program or video game

Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA); these are also devices that are the analog equivalent of those called field-programmable analog arrays

A collection of computers, servers, mainframes, network devices, peripherals, and other devices connected to one another to allow the sharing of data; an excellent example of a network is the Internet, which connects millions of people all over the world
