The Merging of Fourth Industrial Revolution and Fifth Industrial Revolution
摘要
The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents the current and developing environment in which cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the lifestyles and work approaches of modern society. The first Industrial Revolution, taking place in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, marked the shift from mainly agricultural societies to greater industrialization driven by innovations such as the steam engine. The Second Industrial Revolution, driven by electricity, witnessed advancements in industries, large-scale production, and technological development. Technologies associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution include artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics, virtual reality, mobile devices, 3D printing, smart sensors, big data/analytics, augmented reality (AR), data visualization, cognitive computing, geolocation, customer profiling, blockchain, quantum computing, and cloud computing [1].
