ABSTRACT
Industrial Revolutions are exciting times of change that have huge impact on the human race. They transform how people live, work and communicate. The first Industrial Revolution began with the emergence of mechanisation. The second Industrial Revolution began approximately a hundred years later in 1870 with the emergence of new sources of energy – electricity, gas and oil – and was the age of science and mass production. The third Industrial Revolution began a hundred years after that in 1969 with the emergence of nuclear energy – and the digital age began. The fourth Revolution will bring ethical dilemmas with its advances. Leaders in myoelectric prosthesis are providing highly functional bionic hands and arms for disabled people. Technological advancements are happening on a daily basis and they are unstoppable. The unstoppable change has been the case with every industrial revolution, beginning with the invention of the mechanical spinning wheel and the steam engine.
