Welcome to my blog! |
First of
all, I want to explain what does
revolution mean - revolution is a fundamental change of something.
We often
hear revolution in political meaning, but today I am going to talk about
Information Revolution.
As you know
live is not at a standstill, people had different life last century. Life is
changing because of the many things and new technologies are one of the
consequences. Nowadays I can’t imagine life without them: internet,
electricity, hot water and gas. These things are make our life better and more
comfortable, however few of things have been limited and other things don’t
exist at all in the past.
I can say
that information revolution has begun with computers. First of all, computers
were invented for the needs of scientists, they looked cumbersome. Scientists
used computers for calculating a lot of amount of formulas that hard to
calculate on paper. After some time, companies like IBM began to manufacture
computers for ordinary users. This event led to the global spreading of the
computers. Now we have ability to keep our information not only on papers, but
also on computers, so now there is no need to make a lot of facilities like
libraries to keep tons of information.
With the
invention of the computer we had a need for something that could help us spread
information around the world. And
that something has to be very fast. Eventually, we got big network that called
“Internet”. Nowadays it’s a biggest network that cover almost the entire Earth.
In the near future it will cover entire Earth by using drones.
Computer and internet
were invented few decades ago, but you can see that these things are spreading
very fast. In today’s world almost all stuff connected to computers and
internet. They are helping to students in education… of course if they are not
distracted by something from internet. In the future robots would replace
people in many professions. What can I say about it? I guess, there are a lot
of pros and cons. Someone could lost his job, however big changes in our life require
sacrifice. On the other hand, Earth is so big, we have a lot of things to do
here.
If you have ever seen
“Back to the Future” franchise, you know that present world is more modern that
you have seen in this movie. I believe we couldn’t predict what will happen in
the future from the point of technology. People wanted to see flying cars, time
machines, but these things are too revolution. Revolution and evolution are
interrelated. The first one could change the World, the second one could make
our life better by upgrading existing things.
Technologies have
improved life on Earth, the new technologies, like self-driven cars, advanced
AI, drones could make our life better in the future. We are living in
interesting time and everyone should keep eye on what is happening in this
field. All today’s dreams could become a reality…
