Chapter 1: Introduction to Emerging Technologies

 Emerging technology= a new technologies / continuous development of


existing technology.
 ET refers to technologies that are currently developing, or that are
expected to be available within the next five to ten years.
 Technology =

 Evolution =means the process of developing by gradual changes.

* List of some currently available emerged technologies

AI, Block chain, AR & VR, CC, A & R, IOT, I-Apps, BD, RPA

Industrial Introduction to the Revolution (IR


 A period of major industrialization and innovation.
 took place during the late 1700s and early 1800s
 The revolution started in England.
 The manufacturing of goods moved from small shops and homes to large
factories.
 The American Industrial Revolution (Second Industrial Revolution) was
started between 1820 and 1870.

 1st IR= mechanization through water and steam power

 2nd IR= mass production and assembly lines using electricity


the following industrial revolutions fundamentally changed
and transfer the world around us into modern society:-
• The steam engine,

• The age of science and mass production, and

• The rise of digital technology

• Smart and autonomous systems fueled by data and machine learning.

The Most Important Inventions of the Industrial Revolution

* Transportation, Communication & Industry

Historical Background (IR 1.0, IR 2.0, IR 3.0)


 The first European countries to be industrialized after England were
Belgium, France, and the German states.
 The final cause of the Industrial Revolution was the effects created by the
Agricultural Revolution (increase in food production=the key outcome of
the AR).
 The four types of industries are: primary, secondary, tertiary and the
quaternary.

Industrial Revolution (IR 1.0)


 Described as a transition to new manufacturing processes.
 transition from hand production methods to machines
 the increasing use of steam power
 the development of machine tools and the rise of the factory system
Industrial Revolution (IR 2.0)
 also known as the Technological Revolution
 began in the 1870s
 the development of methods for manufacturing interchangeable parts
 widespread adoption of pre-existing technological systems

Industrial Revolution (IR 3.0) /“Digital Revolution”.


 transition from mechanical and analog electronic technology to digital
electronics
 which began from the late 1950s
 The core factor of this revolution is the mass production and widespread
use of digital logic circuits and its derived technologies such as the
computer

Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0)


 The term IR 4.0 was coined by Klaus Schwab in the year 2016.
 A cyber-physical system is a mechanism that is controlled by computer-
based algorithms, tightly integrated with the Internet and its users.

E.g:- robotics, IOT and autonomous vehicles

 CNC machines = are operated by giving it instructions using a computer &


widely practiced in industries today.
