• The industrial revolution in Britain came in to introduce machines
into production by the end of the 18th century (1760-1840).
• This included going from manual production to the use of steampowered engines and water as a source of power.
• This helped agriculture greatly and the term “factory” became a
little popular.
• One of the industries that benefited a lot from such changes is the
textile industry, and was the first to adopt such methods.
• It also constituted a huge part of the British economy at the time.
1. The second one dates between 1870 and 1914 (although some of its characteristics date
back to the 1850) and introduced pre-existing systems such as telegraphs and railroads
into industries.
2. Perhaps the defining characteristic of that period was the introduction of mass
production as a primary means to production in general.
3. The electrification of factories contributed hugely to production rates.
4. The mass production of steel helped introduce railways into the system, which
consequently contributed to mass production.
5. Innovations in chemistry, such as the invention of the synthetic dye, also mark such
period as chemistry was in a rather primitive state then.
6. However, such revolutionary approaches to industry were put to an end with the start of
World War I.
7. Mass production, of course, was not put to an end, but only developments within the
same context were made and none of which can be called industrial revolutions.
The Second Industrial Revolution
1. Perhaps the third one is much more familiar to us than the rest as
most people living today are familiar with industries leaning on
digital technologies in production.
2. However, the third industrial revolution is dated between 1950 and
1970.
3. It is often referred to as the Digital Revolution, and came about
the change from analog and mechanical systems to digital ones.
Others call it the Information Age too.
4. The third revolution was, and still is, a direct result of the huge
development in computers and information and communication
technology.
The Third Industrial Revolution
1. The fourth industrial revolution takes the automation of
manufacturing processes to a new level by introducing customized
and flexible mass production technologies.
2. This means that machines will operate independently, or cooperate
with humans in creating a customer-oriented production field that
constantly works on maintaining itself.
3. The machine rather becomes an independent entity that is able to
collect data, analyze it, and advise upon it.
4. This becomes possible by introducing self-optimization, selfcognition, and self-customization into the industry.
5. The manufacturers will be able to communicate with computers
rather than operate them.

A good example of 4th industrial revolution is the depiction of cortana in halo movie series
