It is not easy to understand if what we are experiencing is truly a new industrial revolution or a tail or a transformation of the previous one, the third revolution, which dates back to the late seventies and was originated by industrial automation, microelectronics and mechatronics. In an attempt to understand what is happening today in terms of the transformation of society and of the industrial revolution, it is necessary first of all to go back to the industrial revolutions, to their powerful impact on society, to the discontinuities that scientific discoveries and their subsequent transformation into technology and industry have produced over the years on society. This is not only on the manufacture of goods and services, but above all on the organization of work and on the quality of life.

Abstract

It is not easy to understand if what we are experiencing is truly a new industrial revolution or a tail or a transformation of the previous one, the third revolution, which dates back to the late seventies and was originated by industrial automation, microelectronics and mechatronics. In an attempt to understand what is happening today in terms of the transformation of society and of the industrial revolution, it is necessary first of all to go back to the industrial revolutions, to their powerful impact on society, to the discontinuities that scientific discoveries and their subsequent transformation into technology and industry have produced over the years on society. This is not only on the manufacture of goods and services, but above all on the organization of work and on the quality of life.
