The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in how we live, work, and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development with remarkable technological advancements comparable to those of the first, second, and third industrial revolutions. These developments are fusing the physical, digital, and biological worlds in ways that hold great promise as well as the possibility of great danger. The way that modern people live and work is changing as a result of disruptive technologies and trends including the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI). This is known as the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 refers to the incorporation of these technologies into production processes. In this article, we discussed the history of 4IR technology, its impact of 4IR technology, and its impact on the current deployment.

Abstract


The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in how we live, work, and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development with remarkable technological advancements comparable to those of the first, second, and third industrial revolutions. These developments are fusing the physical, digital, and biological worlds in ways that hold great promise as well as the possibility of great danger. The way that modern people live and work is changing as a result of disruptive technologies and trends including the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI). This is known as the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 refers to the incorporation of these technologies into production processes. In this article, we discussed the history of 4IR technology, its impact of 4IR technology, and its impact on the current deployment.
