Transcript Agricultural Age

First Wave: The Agricultural Age 0-8000 BC
The first wave era was the first turning point
in human social development, and dominated
the earth unchallenged until 1650-1750 AD
(Toffler, 1980). Before the First wave of
change, most humans lived in small, often
migratory groups and fed themselves by
foraging, fishing, hunting, or herding. At some
point, roughly ten millennia ago, the
agricultural revolution began, and it crept
slowly across the planet spreading villages,
settlements, cultivated land, and a new way
of life.
Agricultural Age
Second Wave: The Industrial Age 0-1600
is the society during the Industrial Revolution (ca.
late 1600s through the mid-1900s). The main
components of the Second Wave society are
nuclear family, factory-type education system and
the corporation. Toffler writes: "The Second Wave
Society is industrial and based on mass
production, mass distribution, mass consumption,
mass education, mass media, mass recreation,
mass entertainment, and weapons of mass
destruction. You combine those things with
standardization, centralization, concentration, and
synchronization, and you wind up with a style of
organization we call bureaucracy." (Toffler, 1980)
Industrial Age
Third Wave: The Information Age 0-1956
Third Wave is the post-industrial society. Toffler
would also add that since late 1950s most
countries are moving away from a Second Wave
Society into what he would call a Third Wave
Society. He coined lots of words to describe it and
mentions names invented by him (super-industrial
society) and other people (like the Information
Age, Space Age, Electronic Era, Global Village,
technetronic age, scientific-technological
revolution), which to various degrees predicted
demassification, diversity, knowledge-based
production, and the acceleration of change (one of
Toffler’s key maxims is "change is non-linear and
can go backwards, forwards and sideways").
