As far as revolutions go, the one we are living through now seems quiet. during these days of Covid-19, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is enabled by technologies that are based on computing and the internet, which largely do their work in the background of our lives. Main applications include the Internet of Things ("smart" toasters and refrigerators), artificial Intelligence autonomous vehicles and medicine tailored to an individual's DNA.
It's difficult to imagine a world without the Fourth Industrial Revolution's technologies. Yet, as surely as four follows three and five follows four, there will be further industrial revolutions. starting from industrial revolution 1.0 in 1780, now we are in industrial revolution 5.0, the technology has improved vastly these years.
The original Industrial Revolution, beginning in the late 18th century, mechanised industries with steam engines and replaced agricultural societies. Technologies of this period paved the way toward the use of oil and gas in the late 1800s, when the mechanized originalIndustrial Revolution, beginning in the late 18th century, mechanised industries with steam engines and replaced agricultural societies. Technologies of this period paved the way toward the use of oil and gas in the late 1800s, when the combustion engine appeared, truly driving industries into the Second Industrial Revolution. Aircraft and automobiles were central to this revolution. The Third Industrial Revolution, beginning in the 1960s, was characterised by computers and electronics. This enabled some of the earliest journeys into space on less computing power than we carry in our hands today. And now here we are, in the midst of the Fourth revolution During the fourth, we are hyper-connected through our smart devices to most of the planet.

The Fifth Industrial Revolution will make that connection closer and seamless, and will feel unmediated. The smart device onto which we tap and into which we speak will disappear. Brain-computer interfaces will replace them. The fifth will stand on the shoulders of the fourth, as technology of diminishing size will be fundamental, and the digital networks will be essential.
The driver (or passenger) sets a destination. The car's software calculates a route. A rotating, roof-mounted Lidar sensor monitors a 60-meter range around the car and creates a dynamic threedimensional (3D) map of the car's current environment. A sensor on the left rear wheel monitors sideways movement to detect the car's position relative to the 3D map. Radar systems in the front and rear bumpers calculate distances to obstacles.AI software in the car is connected to all the sensors and collects input from Google Street View and video cameras inside the car. The Al simulates human perceptual and decision-making processes using deep learning and controls actions in driver control systems, such as steering and brakes. The car'S software consults Google Maps for advance notice of things like landmarks, traffic signs and lights. An override function is available to enable a human to take control of the vehicle. Hands-free steering centres the car without the driver's hands on the wheel. The driver is still required to pay attention. Adaptive cruise control (ACC) down to a stop automatically maintains a selectable distance between the driver's car and the car in front.
