technology as a factor to bring on revolutions

I do a lot with computers.  It is my job.  I sit in front of a screen for most of the day.  It's also one of my hobbies, my passion to learn about how to get things done harder, better, faster, stronger.  So I sit and work, and then I sit and learn, and when I'm AFK, I sit and think a lot.

Thinking back to my Western Civ class, from uni, some 5 or so years ago.  That was a great class.  But one of the things we discussed was what technology brought on what revolutions and why.

Most recent- the internet.  Suddenly we are all connected, to nearly everywhere in the world.  It still seems semibrand-new to us, to most people, even starting out on their AOL accounts 2 decades ago.  And how we live now thanks to that.  It is different than how we were living 20 years ago.

Further back than that- computers.  Just computers in general.  They've technically been around for a century, in the form of punched-out cards fed into machines.  Even then they made things get done faster.

And still further back- the assembly line.  How that revolutionised the way people work, the way goods are produced.  Whether that's good or bad I don't know.

Before- the printing press.  Books suddenly accessible to anyone, when before books had been handwritten.  People could now learn more.

Perhaps earliest- the plough.  Leading to that first revolution, the agrarian one, influencing still how we get our food.  No longer were we the hunter gatherers.  No.  Now we could tame out environment.

These technological revolutions seem to come on more frequently as time passes, and I wonder what the next one is, and when.  I hope it's not cybernetics.  That'd be scary.  Anyway if it's cybernetics I'll personally go out and buy all 5 of you who are reading this a beer, because I'll feel like I've lost some sort of bet.

Thanks.
