When you hear the term “industrial revolution,” do you think of the one that happened in the 1800s? You probably suppose that was the only one, since that is what many of us, even today, learn in school. Would it surprise you to know there were actually four industrial revolutions, all with their own character, advancements, and contributions to the world we live in?

The most well-known, of course, is the first industrial revolution, which started to happen around 1765. This is when mechanization changed traditional methods of farming and manufacturing. This period saw the birth of the cotton gin and the steam engine. In school, we may not have learned how child labor helped to propel these innovations, but you’ll read about that here.

The second industrial revolution (1870) was characterized by advancements in the technologies used in manufacturing processes, such as using alternate forms of power like electricity. It was during this second revolution that the phonograph was invented and the telegraph was put into use. Bicycles and automobiles went from having wooden wheels to those made of rubber, and Goodyear became a household name.

The third (1969) and fourth revolutions are about computers and the sharing of information across digital space. Do you know how the World Wide Web came to be?

We are currently living in the fourth revolution, and witnessing unprecedented advancements in medicine, robotics, and other applications of artificial intelligence. We’ve seen the introduction of “smart phones,” and the use of robots in surgical procedures.

Who knows what else may lie on the horizons of our lifetimes? As people must have thought at the inception of the first industrial revolution, the possibilities are endless.

This short-read book is a perfect introduction to the industrial Revolutions that have completely changed the course of history. After reading this one-hour book, you will know the main events of the four industrial revolutions and their impacts on the World we live in
