Humanity always moves forward. From the agricultural revolution, which substantially increased productivity with new tools and methods, and on to the industrial revolution with an unprecedented improvement of manufacturing processes. Another step forward is the recent transition from the industrial revolution to the information revolution. The information revolution has accelerated due to the growing computational power in combination with network connectivity, which allows every type of device to be connected to the Internet, while collecting and processing masses of data.
