Peter P. Groumpos, "A Critical Historical and Scientific Overview of all Industrial Revolutions"
2021. Reviewed by Shan Kyle M. Zapanta.

A broad topic such as Industrial Revolutions of the human civilization requires a deeper
analysis to each individual aspect of it with respect to its history and scientific observation. In
this article, Peter discussed the first four major industrial revolutions that shifted the world, its
inevitable impacts, benefits, and the perpetual changing industry in today’s perspective for us
to have a clear insight of each of the revolution that happened in the past as well as its legacy
and how human tended to transform each of the newfound innovation into a new industrial
revolution.

The FIR or the First Industrial Revolution described by Peter includes the fundamental
concept of industrialization and why we are prone in adopting it. We see, human capacity has
so many limitations despite of the physical stamina and endurance that we continuously
develop through hard labors and that what the First Industrial Revolution had solved. From
agrarian society who are naturally hardworking, Intellectual people or rather Engineers of the
18th century, specifically earlier Mechanical Engineers provided solution to the limitations of
humans with the help of steam-powered engines through the principles of Thermodynamics
that we continuously tinker and study today. Peter also mentioned about the story of
Prometheus that since he stole the fire of knowledge from Mount Olympus, we humans didn’t
stop to fiddle with it and provide striking innovations that greatly contributed to the
industrialization of our world. Not only that the FIR did increased our knowledge and the
practice of its applications, people from the rural society had see migrated to urban cities
because of the job offerings created by the First Industrial Revolution and it also replaced the
purposes of domesticated animals which are also limited in terms of power. This First industrial
Revolution is also known as Mechanical Revolution or Industry 1.0

The next revolution that had been stated is the
