Abstract
Our scientific curiosity led us to study digital revolution—DR, specifically, we asked ourselves whether DR could revolutionize the management of ships, by bringing the object of management i.e. the vessels closer to her manager ashore. We discovered that curious scientists, like Mr. Malthus T R (born in 1766), emerged during the 1st industrial revolution (1750)—and asked again ourselves what happened to his theory (1798)? We found that his theory—motivated by philanthropic considerations about working people, and in particular by the question if society can provide adequate means for their subsistence, caused three contradictory and important impacts. It seems that shipping companies will be obliged to abandon their traditional way of managing ships, i.e. from a long distance—described in some detail—and soon, after ceasing to discuss DR in world conferences—they will adopt DR, presented also in certain detail. Research frequently leads to unpleasant discoveries… Great human minds, unfortunately, supplied us with artificial realities, and so we named them, in this paper, utopians! Their utopia, however, was not about unimportant issues, but for: economic equality; disappearance of poor; equal income (and wealth) distribution; best quality of life and food; and for the benefits of technological progress! Society let technology to oblige people to learn a 2nd profession during their life; to get unwillingly a pension at 65 years of age, by the force of law, while they are certainly fit to work till 80. In addition, our society, in an urgent need of an intensive care, has to beat COVID-19, which took already the life of 289,000 fellows by 12th May, 2020.

Summary
The 1st Industrial, or better Mechanical, Revolution, started 270 years ago. At that time the power of machines substituted for human power making less costly to produce goods in factories (than at home) (Robbins & Coulter, 2018: p. 707). Malthus Theory: It deals with the growth of global population and its subsistence. It advanced 2 axioms, 1 suggestion and 1 assumption. Malthus’ suggestion: Society has to proceed in “promoting, and where necessary, practicing, moral restraint” (bold & italics added). He assumed “an isolated population, with neither emigration, nor immigration” In 25 years, the aborted embryos could have made the 7.7b global population This over-verifies Malthus 1st axiom...And if global population did not verify Malthus model, individual countries, like India with 1.35b people, did.
