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
