*It is now industrial revolution period. And the last 25 year (year 1997) is international globalisation, which by internet and mobile computer popular. The year 1977 industrial revolution is the machine revolution, which is the integration of mechanical machine and electronic. This period is focus on computer aided tools, including administrating, manufacturing and entertainment. This period is digital management period. And, the next industrial revolution is the digital revolution. Whereby the quantum computer or software launching and transition. The period should be addressing the problem of education and information. This is knowledge economy booming. This period starts from year 2017. And it would last until the next industrial revolution on year 2037. It is the integration of mechanical and chemical, e.g. quantum energy, and nuclear energy. This is the period of civilisation climax.
