The Information revolution as part of the Scientific Technical Revolution
1. Read and translate the text in a written form.
The period after World War Two we can characterize as "Scientific Technical Revolution". Its main aspect is that science becomes a leading factor in production (in opposed to "land" during agricultural revolution, or "industrial resources", such as iron, coal, oil, etc., during the Industrial revolution). Hence, the term "knowledge economy" applied to modern economy.
The main aspects of the Scientific Technological Revolution (STR) are:
1) automation of production and distribution (industrial robots, "workerless factories", vending machines and banking machines),
2) management of production and people via computers,
3) space flight,
4) nuclear energy,
5) new materials,
6) biological research,
7) nanotechnology, whereby mechanical shaping of matter replaced by manipulation of atoms and molecules.
The main aspect of the STR today is the information revolution. According to RAND report from 2003, "The information revolution is not the only technology-driven revolution under way in the world today, merely the most advanced. Advances in biotechnology and nanotechnology, and their synergies with IT, should also change the world greatly over the course of the 21st century".

The Information revolution as part of the Scientific Technical Revolution
Modern information society appeared as the result of several information revolutions. Information revolutions have not only cardinally changed the ways of information processing, but also the ways of manufacture, men’s system of values and lifestyle.
The first information revolution is connected with the invention of a writing language. It became possible for the mankind to transfer the information, knowledge, experience from generation to generation. Time passed … The Middle Ages came..... Manuscripts could not be affordable for all strata of the society. Renaissance came.. Mankind had constantly growing requirements.
The second information revolution is connected with the invention of publishing and it’s distribution in the XVth century.
Publishing appeared in the middle of the XVth century in Europe. Approximately in 1440 the type-setting press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg. [´jɔhәn´gu:tәnbә:g]
( He took the idea for his printing press from the presses wine-makers used). With movable type, the printer made a letter (A, B, C ...) from a piece of metal or wood, and could use it again and again in different words. Together, all Gutenberg's inventions made printing fast, and the press of the first book - Bibles-was finished in 1456. The new way extended very quickly and it marked the beginning of „Gutenberg’s era”.
Various strata of society acquired access to the information thanks to publishing.
Time passed…Mankind had constantly growing requirements. The book did not meet new requirements of mankind - to transmit the information to distances.
The third information revolution is connected with the invention of telegraph, phone, radio, TV. These inventions allowed transmitting texts, sound and visual images to the big distances.
Technologies of TV were not invented by one person and for once.
Willoughby Smith, an English electrical engineer in 1873 discovered the photoconductivity of the element selenium. This discovery led to the invention of photoelectric cells, including those used in the earliest television systems. The invention of scanning disk by Paul Julius Gottlieb Nipkow in 1884 was an incitement in development of mechanical TV which was popular already till 1930th years. The systems based on Nipkow disk were practically realised only in 1925 by John Logie Baird in Great Britain, Ch. Dzhenkinson in the USA, Hovannes (Ivan) Abgari Adamian and Lev Sergeyevich Termen in the USSR independently.
Time passed…Mankind had constantly growing requirements. Mankind requirements to transmit information to the big distances grew quickly…
The fourth information revolution (70th years ХХ centuries). It is connected with the invention of microprocessor technology, the personal computer and the Internet. It is characterized by the transition from mechanical, electric ways of an information transfer to electronic one and the software of this process creation. The crown of this revolution is the invention of the Internet. Millions of people around the world use the Internet to search for and retrieve information on all sorts of topics in a wide variety of areas including the arts, business, government, humanities, news, politics and recreation. People communicate trough electronic mail (e-mail), discussion groups, chat channels and other means of informational exchange. They share information and make commercial and business transactions. All this activity is possible because tens of thousands of networks are connected to the Internet and exchange information in the same basic ways.
The Internet provides an information exchange in global scales.
The computer invention became possible thanks to achievements in mathematics and mechanic area of antique and medieval scientists. The most considerable representative of medieval scientists is Leonardo da Vinci. He outstripped his time for some centuries.
