The last popular coining of such phrasing re-ignited a lethargic post boom and post 9/11 tech industry growing all the way through to the introduction of the iPhone.Industry 4.0 - while all the consumer driven crypto-mania peppered through all things - business innovation continues to soldier on. In the midst of more than USD 100 billion in AI funding, the direct applications new approaches, partly from the past few years of investment results from IoT and big data initiatives, have given rise to re-invigorated factory automation, combining modern robotics and automation that continue to reduce human labour.With more than 5 billion people starting to participate and engage on the internet in a more meaningful manner over the next decade, tripling the current number of participants, this golden age of modernisation is going to see immense scaling that will stretch all cities, nations, factories, governments and environment.How deep does industry 4.0 operate? Come discuss about the last industrial revolution happening now, before the age of molecular level manufacturing.More than 30 years ago, K. Eric Drexler noted in his book, the Engines of Creation, on the industrial revolutions that are in the horizon. It's going to take another 3 more decades before that is reached.http://e-drexler.com/d/06/00/EOC/EOC_Table_of_Contents.html
