How many industrial revolutions is blockchain
these revolutions started and ended with the creation of better and more efficient machines. But the fourth revolution, the instrial Internet of things (iiot) asserts, is coming, and it will not follow in the footsteps of its predecessors
the fourth revolution will not focus on stronger and faster machines: it will focus on machines, processing, sharing and spontaneous information behavior, fundamentally changing our relationship with tools, the world and each other
the data revolution
is not coal, steel, nor silicon. The currency of the fourth revolution will be data
a single gas turbine, coupled to the instrial Internet, generates more than four times as much data in one day as the global Twitter as a whole, but the data we analyze is less than 1%. Bill RUH, chief executive of Ge digital, predicts that digital information will overflow, and today's analysis tools are hopeless
"ten years ago, we might have introced 1TB of data every day." "Today, it's up to about 10000 TB of data," RUH told the Boston Globe. By 2020, we expect to introce about 1 million terabytes of data a day. "
the data generated by future machines is about the same as that of the library of Congress. Imagine reading every book in the library of Congress and then having to summarize what you've learned on 10 pages. The task is not only huge, but also ridiculous
the real miracle of the fourth instrial revolution will not be to proce data, but intelligent machines that can analyze these data and communicate with their peers in the network. Each networked machine will then take action to change its processes to improve efficiency and feed back its changes to the network
I hope these smart machines will bring our world economy to a climax: RUH and Ge believe that in the next 20 years, the smart machines and Internet of things instry will add 10 to 15 trillion US dollars to the global economy. Given that global gross domestic proct (GDP) was about $74 trillion in 2015, this is a huge growth
the foundation of the revolution
for the coming revolution, there are two components that are important and necessary: a centralized, instry-specific Internet communication network, such as predix of General Electric; And systematic, decentralized way, and hinder dishonest communication to promote business development
the specific iiot network must act as a hub for intelligent machines to interact with each other and with human creators. Sensors on the computer collect a large amount of data, and then filter the data in real time. In other words, it can be imagined that it happened on the basis of a machine. However, the investigation results of relay equipment and the decision made without human intervention, in order to truly build an intelligent network, the machine needs a single communication network
imagine that when the aircraft is still in the air, the sensors of the aircraft engine recognize the part that is about to fail, and then communicate with the destination airport. The engine will need maintenance and order replacement parts before landing
this intuitive machine is not a science fiction dream: it's our future
in my opinion, iiot information network is only half the success, and ultimately it is about e-commerce. Seeing it as a public road, millions of autopilot cars will run on top one day.
now, these autopilot cars run on a single system. But how do we ensure that every autopilot will obey the traffic rules? For example, how can we ensure that the vehicle does not send fraud information about its whereabouts at the time of the accident? If there are only two parties involved in the accident, then each passenger will confirm the story of his own car, and there is no way to verify the position claimed by each party
considering that decentralized, satellite based GPS will affect the situation. The system is just and connected to every car. Of course, every car can continue to lie, but it's much easier to verify which side is telling the truth
e to the nature of the GPS system and the nature of its cancellation, the autopilot car has no reason or is tampered with by its owner. This strong incentive for integrity is to promote the trade between autopilot cars, and it is necessary for owners to feel that their investment in these vehicles is safe. Br />GPS technology is for auto driving vehicle, just like network block chain technology for instrial Internet. Of course, self driving cars can run on roads without GPS, but their owners probably will not allow them to do so. Similarly, on a larger scale, machines can communicate on a single, centralized network of the instrial Internet, but only when there is no risk Blockchain is the core part of bitcoin technology. Its function is simple and similar to an account book, recording all transaction data. This account book: 1. It is stored on each bitcoin node of the Internet, and each node has a complete backup; 2. It records all bitcoin transfer transactions since the birth of bitcoin; 3. The ledger is stored in blocks, and each block contains some transaction records. Each block will record the ID of the previous block, forming a chain structure, which is called blockchain; 4. When you want to initiate a bitcoin transaction, just broadcast the transaction information to the P2P network, record your transaction information as a new block and connect it to the blockchain, and the transaction is completed
blockchain has stimulated the revolution in other places
of course, blockchain has promoted the development of e-commerce in the financial instry. But digital information packets are discrete assets like money, and blockchain can create digital records of their existence and transmission. The technology is essentially a unified ledger of records or digital events. The ledger is distributed in the network and shared by different parties, and can only be updated by the majority of these parties. Once a ledger item is created, it can never be erased
blockchain is the missing link in the revolution, because the e-commerce it inspires will define the trust between machines and stakeholders. For example, Volkswagen's recent emissions scandal. VW's tests show that its vehicles emit too much NOx, so it chooses to hide the problem to avoid subsequent inspection
although blockchain will not prevent machines or people from tampering with data, it will create transparent, shared and indelible documents about the original emission data. If this data has been created and shared through the blockchain system, Volkswagen will never embark on the road of fraud, because the difference between the two data sets is obvious
the benefits of iiot are obvious. We have developed machine to machine communication technology; Now, it's the standardization challenge between society and the next revolution. This has driven the development of database technology in the past 30 years, and we have finally seen the momentum of construction
the first mock exam is different from the other enterprises, but if we all want to benefit from the high efficiency brought by the fourth instrial revolution, we must adopt the single mode of machine to machine electronic commerce. And because the communication network has to operate commercially between voluntary participants, we have to integrate the blockchain into this system. In the need to constantly modify the data, and free information trade needs detailed environmental conditions, blockchain is the best path to a new instrial revolution.
The working unit of the medical insurance center is an institution. The working hours of the staff are the same all over the country. They leave work at 12 o'clock in summer and go to work at 3 o'clock. It's 12 o'clock in winter and 2 o'clock in winter. Now I still commute in winter, so I go to work at two o'clock
It was the fourth instrial revolution
Related introction:1. The first instrial revolution:
was a technological revolution launched from England in the 1860s, which created an era of replacing manual labor with machines< 2. The second Instrial Revolution:
was the completion of the bourgeois revolution or reform in European countries, the United States and Japan in the mid-19th century, which promoted the economic development. In the late 1860s, the second instrial revolution began. Mankind has entered the "electrical age"
3. The third scientific and technological revolution:
with the invention and application of atomic energy, electronic computer, space technology and bioengineering as the main symbol, it is an information control technology revolution involving many fields such as information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, biotechnology, space technology and marine technology
4. The fourth scientific and technological revolution:
is another scientific and technological revolution following the steam technology revolution, electric power technology revolution, computer and information technology revolution. The fourth instrial revolution is based on graphene, gene, virtual reality, quantum information technology, controllable nuclear fusion, clean energy and biotechnology
The fourth instrial revolution is based on the emergence of network physical system. Network physical system combines digital communication technology with software, sensors and nanotechnologythe first three instrial revolutions made human development enter an era of unprecedented prosperity. At the same time, they also caused huge energy and resource consumption, paid huge environmental and ecological costs, and sharply expanded the contradiction between man and nature
in the 21st century, mankind is facing unprecedented multiple challenges of global energy and resource crisis, global ecological and environmental crisis and global climate change crisis, which triggered the fourth instrial revolution
(2015 · Huangshi) many instrial sectors emerged in the instrial revolution, the earliest of which was cotton textile instry
(Xiaogan, 2014) in the past 200 years, mankind has experienced three technological revolutions, including the invention of steam engine, train, ship, automobile, airplane, Telegraph and telephone, computer, atomic bomb, artificial satellite, etc. The first revolution of science and technology brought mankind into the steam age, the second into the electrical age, and the third into the era of knowledge economy
(2011 · Huangshi) the second instrial revolution is characterized by the iron and steel age and the electrical age.
There are three instrial revolutions in history, which are as follows:
1. The first instrial revolution (1860s-1840s) was a technological revolution initiated from England. The revolution began with the birth of the working machine and was marked by the widespread use of the steam engine as a power engine. This instrial revolution greatly strengthened the ties between different parts of the world, changed the face of the world, and finally established the dominant position of the bourgeoisie in the world. Britain, which took the lead in completing the instrial revolution, soon became the world hegemony
the first instrial revolution: mechanization
time: since the 1950s (about 1950 to today)
characteristics: the third instrial revolution has changed more greatly than the second instrial revolution. No longer limited to simple machinery, atomic energy, aerospace technology, electronic computers, artificial materials, genetic engineering and other procts and technologies with high scientific and technological content have been increasingly advanced. With the development and application of Internet as information technology, almost everyone on the earth is connected, and various robots appear in the proction of instry. The "ambition" of mankind in this era is no longer limited to the earth, but the sea of stars, which has been realized with the rapid development of space technology
In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world's first man-made earth satellite, creating a new era in the development of space technology In 1958, the United States launched an artificial earth satellite In 1959, the "Moon" 2 satellite launched by the Soviet Union became the first satellite to send objects to the moon In 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Gagarin took the lead in space by spaceship In 1969, American Neil Armstrong realized the dream of human landing on the moon. Since the 1970s, space activities have shifted from near earth space to flying out of the solar system In 1970, China launched its first man-made satellite, and its space technology has developed rapidly In 1981, the Columbia space shuttle, the first one that can be used continuously in the United States, successfully flew and landed safely two days later. It has three characteristics of rocket, spaceship and aircraft, which is a major breakthrough in the aerospace instry In 1945, the United States successfully trial proced the atomic bomb In 1954, the Soviet Union built the first nuclear power station In 1946, the first generation of computer was electron tube computer In 1959, the second generation computer was transistor computer In 1964, the third generation computer was integrated circuit computer In 1970, it was developed into the fourth generation computer and large scale integrated circuit machinethe fourth instrial revolution: intellectualization
time: the time of the fourth instrial revolution is relatively vague. In July 2010, the German government adopted "high tech Strategy 2020", which identified instry as one of the top ten future projects. Today, the achievements of the fourth instrial revolution do not cover the scale of the third instrial revolution. We should now be in the transition period from the third instrial revolution to the fourth
features: in "high tech Strategy 2020", the German government hopes to achieve the maximum automation of proction in the next 10-15 years. Internet of things technology and big data take on the core technical support in the fourth instrial revolution. More and more robots will replace human, or even completely, to realize "unmanned factory". Although the fourth instrial revolution achieved the acme of artificial liberation, the worry that highly intelligent robots with "thinking" will proce adverse attempts on human beings also followed
intelligent factory, intelligent proction, intelligent household appliances, human-computer interaction, 3D technology, network communication technology, Internet of things, resource integration, mobile Internet, digital manufacturing, big data revolution, machine self-organization, cloud computing, highly digital
The first
1860s - mid-19th century (mankind began to enter the steam age)
the second
the second half of 19th century - early 20th century (mankind began to enter the electrical age and reached the peak in the information revolution and information revolution)
the third
the second half of 20th century, about after the Second World War As human beings enter the era of science and technology, the emergence of biological cloning technology and aerospace technology, which is called systems and synthetic biology in Europe and America in the 21st century, will trigger the third instrial revolution, that is, biotechnology and instrial revolution)
trend: the fourth instrial revolution must be the popular artificial intelligence
the instrial revolution began in the 1860s, and in the latter half of the 18th century, it has made remarkable progress in Britain. It is generally believed that it originated in the middle of England, which refers to the early course of capitalist instrialization, that is, the capitalist proction completed the transition from handicraft instry to machine instry. Instrial revolution is a revolution of proction and science and technology, in which machines replace human resources and large-scale factory proction replaces manual proction in indivial workshops. Because the invention and application of machines have become the symbol of this era, historians call this era "the age of machines". In the middle of the 18th century, after watt improved the steam engine, a series of technological revolution caused a great leap from manual labor to power machine proction. Then it spread to Britain and even the whole European continent, and spread to North America in the 19th century. It is generally believed that steam engine, coal, iron and steel are the four main factors contributing to the accelerated development of instrial revolution technology. Britain was the first country to start and end the instrial revolution< Some people think that the instrial revolution began around 1750, but it did not really flourish until 1830. Most people believe that the instrial revolution originated in Central England. In the middle of the 18th century, Watt improved the steam engine, so the sign of the beginning of the instrial revolution was the Jeanie spinning machine invented by Hargreaves, and the sign of the instrial revolution was watt improved the steam engine. By a series of technological revolution, it has caused a great leap from manual labor to power machine proction. Then the Instrial Revolution spread to England, then to the whole European continent, and to North America in the 19th century. Later, the Instrial Revolution spread all over the world.
