THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION OF 1776 AND OTHER REVOLUTIONS

Abstract

The evolution of human society is one of many thousands of years, about which we have more information, or less, as are the years with the greatest antiquity, about which there is some information but not so credible or detailed, because even today some information is preserved (most), but there are also some considered irrelevant that disappear.Perhaps we would like to have more information about some areas from the past or present, but we do not have it at our disposal and we cannot make some reflections on some problems that man has faced before compared to those of the present.Regarding the economy, many data are accessible from the present days and even older but not from the more distant past, because we could draw other conclusions when we have more information.In this case, we are studying the industrial revolutions, a history of technologies that have positively marked the way of life on the planet, the developments that were more relevant through those human inventions or discoveries that determined changes in the way of life, advances that have also made human behavior a new and different one, having superior possibilities to provide food and other necessary things.In this case, we are referring to the steam engine, considered the main landmark of the first Industrial Revolution, or for the second revolution marked by the advent of electricity, but also of many types of engines from the period from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century.The third revolution is marked as starting from the mid-20th century until the year 2000, during this period there were many inventions and innovations that made an essential but also efficient progress for humanity, so that after the year 2000 a fourth revolution for the humanity of the planet could be considered, with considerable changes for the economic fields and human way of life.
