Industrial revolutions

  • 1st → steam power (18th - 19th century)
  • 2nd → electric power (late 19th century), assembly line (Ford)
  • 3rd → electronics (20th century), speed
  • 4th →
    • AI
    • Cloud
    • Big Data
    • Internet

4th IR benefits Industry, engineering, robotics, medical, military → Cooperation, Synergy, Accessibility, focus on our own life Drawbacks:

  • Age
  • Pollution (more you produce, more pollution is created)
  • Richness (there is a wide gap between rich people and poor people)
  • Education
  • Jobs (difficulty of finding/creating jobs)

AR/VR

Augmented Reality → device that adds a layer (digital) to our reality (like Pokemon Go) Virtual Reality → creates a digital environment that the person can enter using their device

Advantages of using AR or VR in a company:

  • When working on a machine, with AR you can directly see the data without looking to a computer screen or manuals, with more productivity and less distractions
  • Simulations in VR to train airplane pilots, surgeons, etc, better than normal digital 2D simulations on a single screen
  • Immersive simulations of products/machines playing in a space with AR or full renderings of space renovations with VR
