Introductions to emerging technologies
Emerging Technology 2
Refers to
• a new technology or
• a continuing technology or
• a technology expected to be developed in the near future
and will have an affirmative significance in social, economic and political aspects of
human life.
Technologies
• emerged
• created
• enhanced and
• developed through progress called evolution of technology.
Evolution of technology is a process of developing the science of mechanical and
industrial arts through gradual changes.
Industrial Revolutions 3
During the late 1700s to early 1800s industrial revolution was started in England.
Societies started
• to use new sources of energy like coal
• to migrated from rural areas to cities
• to develop new transportations, communication systems and industries.
Industrial revolution
• Relocated productions of goods from small homes and shops to large factories.
Industrial revolutions that our world come across until are
• Industrial revolution(1.0)
• Industrial revolution(2.0)
• Industrial revolution(3.0)
• Industrial revolution(4.0)

Industrial revolution(1.0)
• First started in England during 18th century.
• Transition from hand production to new manufacturing processes.
• Steam engine was used by production machines and transportation systems.
Industrial revolution(2.0)
• Started in the late 1870s, also called technological revolution.
• Electricity power and telephones were introduced during this era.
• Mechanical systems started to be replaced with electric driven ones.
• Analog communications
Industrial revolution(3.0)
• Started in the late 1950s.
• Transitions done from analog systems to digital, so called digital revolution.
• Computer, handphones and internet were introduced.

Industrial revolution(4.0)
• The current era in industrial revolutions.
• Artificial Intelligence introduced.
• AI realizes autonomous cars, automated robots, IoT and smart cities.
• Cyber-physical systems, a computer based algorithm driven anything, anywhere and
anytime.
The four types of industries:
• The primary industry involves getting raw materials e.g. mining, farming, and fishing.
• The secondary industry involves manufacturing e.g. making cars and steel.
• Tertiary industries provide a service e.g. teaching and nursing.
• The quaternary industry involves research and development industries.
