It features with the replacement of human and animal muscle power with steam and mechanical power. Human income per capita had taken 800 years to double by the early 1800’s. Since 1760, the first Industrial Revolution spent only about 150 years to increase human income per capita by thirteen-fold. While historians are still debating what the second Industrial Revolution is, many believe that it is Internet Revolution. It started in about 60 years ago.
