New strategies needed as Third Industrial Revolution unfoldsInternational Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology
Industrial Revolutions and Sri Lanka2023 •
Industrial revolutions, from the first industrial revolution of 18 th century to the ongoing fourth industrial revolution of 21 st century, have changed the trajectory of the human civilization irreversibly all the way through. The agriculture centered dynamic economies in the west along with their extensive international trade networks transformed into industry driven global economic power houses as a result of the first industrial revolution. The heat of the industrialization process spread from the pioneering nations to the rest of the world asymmetrically according to their geopolitical and socio cultural factors. The periodical spike in technological innovations and applications, dubbed as industrial revolutions two, three and four, ushered the global production, distribution and consumption through an unprecedented higher ground in the past. unnecessarily promoting of the agriculture as the main strategy of economic development.

A third industrial revolution?: solutions to the crisis of resource-intensive growth2009 •
revolutions have occurred when new technologies and novel ways of perceiving the world trigger a profound change in economic systems and social structures. The profound shift — the transition from foraging to farming — happened 10,000 years ago, and was made possible by the do-mestication of animals. The agrarian revolution combined the of animals with those of humans for the purpose of production , transportation and communication. Little by little, food production improved, spurring population growth and enabling larger human settlements and the rise of cities. The agrarian revolution was followed by a series of industrial revolutions that began in the second half of the 18th century, with the spanning from about 1760 to 1840. Triggered by the construction of railroads and the invention of the steam engine, it ushered in mechanical production. The second, which started in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century, made mass production possible, fostered by the advent of electricity and the assembly line. The third industrial revolution began in the 1960s. It is usually called the computer or digital revolution because it was catalyzed by the development of semiconductors, mainframe computing (1960s), personal computing (1970s and 80s) and the Internet (1990s). Today, we are in the midst of a fourth industrial revolution that began at the turn of this century and builds on the digital revolution. In this article I will describe the challenges and opportunities it presents for modern business leaders. The fourth industrial revolution is not just about smart and connected machines and systems: its scope is much wider. Occurring simultaneously are waves of further breakthroughs in areas ranging from gene sequencing to nanotechnology, from renewables to quantum computing. It is the fusion of these technologies — and their interaction across the physical, digital and biological domains — that make this revolution fundamentally from its predecessors. Emerging technologies and broad-based innovation are diffusing much faster and more widely than in previous revolutions — which continue to unfold in some parts of the world. The second industrial revolution, for instance, has yet to be fully experienced by 17 per cent of the world, as nearly 1.3 billion people still lack access to electricity. This is also true for the third industrial Technological innovations are fuelling momentous change throughout the world, generating great benefits and challenges, in equal measure.
Evolution has always been part of our transformation towards the better version of ourselves and the industry 4.0 was not short of any of these drastic nuances that forever impacted the way we envision the near future. To construct a sustainable agenda with the accordance of the international community is one part of a pioneering equation that calls for its incremental other half which calls for innovation and prompt technological communications that will collectively guide us into development with cohesion and precision. Mutual partnerships and beneficiary interlinks can meet upon common grounds of understanding to help conceptualize the dreams we hold for the year 2030 into a true reality and a living proof of raw human potential and innovation. Sustainable Development Goal 9 that calls for reliable infrastructure, inclusive industrialization as well as fostering and promoting innovation is a fundamental manuscript for the targets that the fourth industrial revolution calls for. Industry 4.0 has touched upon technological, social and business-related changes through diverse scopes, keeping mind the numerous form of policies that state-members in the United Nations can develop to help personify the 2030 agenda to accommodate their ultimate best and their local communities in retrospect. A form of research methodology based on multiple accredited resources from the United Nation’s online reports and different epistemological links, that distinct opinion pieces from absolute facts, has been invested to write the following research paper, along with the assistance of literary resources qualified to tackle the aforementioned matter of sustainable development in respect to the new forms of innovative economy.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution: Opportunities and Challenges2018 •
The fourth industrial revolution, a term coined by Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, describes a world where individuals move between digital domains and offline reality with the use of connected technology to enable and manage their lives. (Miller 2015, 3) The first industrial revolution changed our lives and economy from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. Oil and electricity facilitated mass production in the second industrial revolution. In the third industrial revolution, information technology was used to automate production. Although each industrial revolution is often considered a separate event, together they can be better understood as a series of events building upon innovations of the previous revolution and leading to more advanced forms of production. This article discusses the major features of the four industrial revolutions, the opportunities of the fourth industrial revol...
The third Industrial revolution will have a significant effect on the way we plan and develop cities and regions. This powerpoint presentation outlines the scope of a research project funded by Urban Frontiers (www.urban frontiers.com.au) to investigate the dimensions and metrics of the third Industrial revolution and the implications for the planning ( land use, infrastructure, environmental, economic, social and governance) of cities and regions.
