What does Emerging Technologies mean?
• Interesting fact - Technology Means "science of the mechanical and industrial arts" (first recorded
in 1859).
• Emerging technology is a term generally used to describe a new technology
• It may also refer to the continuing development of existing technology
• The term ‘Emerging Technologies’ commonly refers to technologies that are currently developing,
or that are expected to be available within the next five to ten years, and is usually reserved for
technologies that are creating or are expected to create significant social or economic effects.
Introduction to the Industrial Revolution:
• The Industrial Revolution was a period of major industrialization and innovation that took
place during the late 1700s and early 1800s.
• The revolution started in England, with a series of innovations to make labor more
efficient and productive.
The four types of industries are:
• The primary industry involves getting raw materials e.g. mining, farming, and fishing.
• The secondary industry involves manufacturing e.g. making cars and steel.
• Tertiary industries provide a service e.g. teaching and nursing.
• The quaternary industry involves research and development industries e.g. IT
Brainstorm: What are the most important inventions of
industrial revolutions?
Introduction to the Industrial Revolution:
Generally, the following industrial revolutions fundamentally changed and transfer the
world around us into modern society.
• The steam engine (Industrial Revolution 1.0)
• The age of science and mass production (Industrial Revolution 2.0)
• The rise of digital technology (Industrial Revolution 3.0)
• Smart and autonomous systems fueled by data and machine learning (Industry 4.0)
The Most Important Inventions of the Industrial Revolution
• Transportation: The Steam Engine, Railroad, Diesel Engine, Airplane.
• Communication.: The Telegraph, Transatlantic Cable, Phonograph, Telephone.
• Industry: The Cotton Gin, the Sewing Machine, Electric Lights
Historical Background (IR 1.0, IR 2.0, IR 3.0)
• The industrial revolution began in Great Britain in the late 1770s before spreading to the rest of
Europe.
• The first European countries to be industrialized after England were Belgium, France, and the
German states.
• The final cause of the Industrial Revolution was the effects created by the Agricultural
Revolution.
• As previously stated, the Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the 18th century due in part
to an increase in food production, which was the key outcome of the Agricultural Revolution

Telephone – Alexander graham bell (1876)
The Cotton Gin – Eli Whitney (1798)
The Sewing Machine – Thomas Saint (1790)
Electric Lights – Humphry Davy (1802) Joseph swan and Edison (1880s)
Introduction to the Industrial Revolution:
Industrial Revolution (IR 1.0)
Industrial Revolution (IR 1.0)
• The Industrial Revolution (IR) is described as a transition to new manufacturing
processes.
• IR was first coined in the 1760s, during the time where this revolution began.
• The transitions in the first IR included going from hand production methods to
machines, the increasing use of steam power the development of machine tools and the
rise of the factory system.
Industrial Revolution (IR 2.0)
Industrial Revolution (IR 2.0)
• The Second IR, also known as the Technological Revolution, began somewhere in the
1870s
• The advancements in IR 2.0 included the development of methods for manufacturing
interchangeable parts and widespread adoption of pre-existing technological systems such
as telegraph and railroad networks. This adoption allowed the vast movement of people
and ideas, enhancing communication.
• Moreover, new technological systems were introduced, such as electrical power and
telephones.
• Russia, Japan and other parts of eastern Europe, Australia and New Zealand were in
competition for industrialization
Industrial Revolution (IR 3.0)
Industrial Revolution (IR 3.0)
• IR 3.0 introduced the transition from mechanical and analog electronic technology to digital
electronics which began from the late 1950s. Due to the shift towards digitalization, IR 3.0
was given the nickname, “Digital Revolution”
• The core factor of this revolution is the mass production and widespread use of digital logic
circuits and its derived technologies such as the computer, handphones and the Internet.
• These technological innovations have arguably transformed traditional production and
business techniques enabling people to communicate with another without the need of
being physically present.
• Certain practices that were enabled during IR 3.0 is still being practiced until this current day,
for example – the proliferation of digital computers and digital record.
• Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, India also started to see the developments
Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0)
• With advancements in various technologies such as robotics, Internet of Things (IoT),
additive manufacturing and automatic vehicles, the term “Fourth Industrial
Revolution” or IR 4.0 was coined by Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of
World Economic Forum, in the year 2016.
• The technologies mentioned above are what you call – cyber-physical systems. A cyber-
physical system is a mechanism that is controlled or monitored by computer-based
algorithms, tightly integrated with the Internet and its users.
• One example that is being widely practiced in industries today is the usage of Computer
Numerical Control (CNC) machines. These machines are operated by giving it instructions
using a computer.
• Another major breakthrough that is associated with IR 4.0 is the adoption of Artificial
Intelligence (AI), where we can see it being implemented into our smartphones. AI is also
one of the main elements that give life to Autonomous Vehicles and Automated Robots.

Role of Data for Emerging Technologies
• Data is regarded as the new oil and strategic asset since we are living in the age of big data.
• It drives or even determines the future of science, technology, the economy, and possibly
everything in our world today and tomorrow.
• Data have not only triggered tremendous hype and buzz but more importantly, presents
enormous challenges that in turn bring incredible innovation and economic opportunities.
• This reshaping and paradigm-shifting are driven not just by data itself but all other aspects
that could be created, transformed, and/or adjusted by understanding, exploring, and
utilizing data.
Enabling devices and network (Programmable devices)
Meaning:
Devices under the control of a stored program obeyed by a fetch-execute cycle.
There are four basic kinds of devices: memory, microprocessors, logic, and networks.
• Memory devices store random information such as the contents of a spreadsheet or database.
• Microprocessors execute software instructions to perform a wide variety of tasks such as running a
word processing program or video game.
• Logic devices provide specific functions, including device-to-device interfacing, data communication,
signal processing, data display, timing and control operations, and almost every other function a
system must perform.
• The network is a collection of computers, servers, mainframes, network devices,
peripherals, or other devices connected to one another to allow the sharing of data.

Human to Machine Interaction:
• Human-machine interaction (HMI) refers to the communication and interaction between a human and a
machine via a user interface.
• HCI (human-computer interaction) is the study of how people interact with computers and to what extent
computers are or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings. As its name implies, HCI
consists of three parts: the user, the computer itself, and the ways they work together.
• The user interacts directly with hardware for the human input and output such as displays, e.g. through a
graphical user interface.
• The goal of HCI is to improve the interaction between users and computers by making computers more user-
friendly and receptive to the user's needs.
• The main advantages of HCI are simplicity, ease of deployment & operations and cost savings for smaller set-
ups. They also reduce solution design time and integration complexity.
Disciplines Contributing to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
• Cognitive psychology: Limitations, information processing, performance prediction, cooperative
working, and capabilities.
• Computer science: Including graphics, technology, prototyping tools, user interface
management systems.
• Linguistics.
• Engineering and design.
• Artificial intelligence.
