A beginner’s guide to the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Africa: By Abel Matheba and Debates

Abstract

What is a revolution?
A revolution is change that happens over a length of time. This type of change is driven by human beings. It starts as an idea in
the minds of a few, and then spreads out into the minds of more people so that it gains momentum to force a change in the world. A political revolution is often forced through protests or policies, where the majority of the affected people drive this
change in their desired direction. An industrial revolution is a change in economic power, where the main driver of the economy is changed from a certain technological sector to another.
