“When I moved into making sculpture, I could handle steel the way it had been handled in the technological revolution.

“Technological revolutions are very hard to predict. My favourite example is someone in 1850 taking care of horses as a farrier. They would have said, "Look, horses have been part of human existence for 5,000 years. We are horse people. It's permanent." But all of a sudden, the internal combustion engine comes along and, with it, oil fields and automobiles, which basically replace the horse completely. So we often have these long periods of stability and then a sudden inflection point.” PeopleYearsHumansLooksLongHas BeensSaidHardCareExistenceExampleFieldsRevolutionPeriodsHorseOilPermanentInternalsStabilityEnginesFavouriteTechnologicalAutomobileHuman ExistenceCombustionOil Field Author:Reed Hastings
“I don't. We've had three technological revolutions that have changed the course of human history, all driven by physics. In the first, the industrial revolution, physicists developed Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics, which gave us the steam engine and machine power. The second technological revolution was the electricity revolution. That gave us radio, television, and telecommunications. Then, physicists developed the laser and the transistor.” ChangedRevolutionDrivenPhysicsTechnologicalElectricityMechanicPhysicistIndustrial RevolutionThermodynamics Author:Michio Kaku
“When the industrial revolution happened there was the Luddistic movement, and there was a fear that machinery would replace all the labor.
