Farms, Factories, and Floppies:

• The First Wave was the Agricultural Revolution.
• The Second Wave was the Industrial Revolution.
• The Third Wave is the Information Revolution.

The primary work describing the Third Wave was done ny Alvin and Heidi Toffler. It's an excellent book and highly recommended.

In each revolution - in any revolution - some people win, some people lose, some people aren't affected. The Third Wave is changing our economies, our families, our time, and our lives.
