business, government, civil society, etc., and the human body. This revolution brought with it the advent of cyber-physical systems, which represent a new way in which technology becomes embedded within societies, i.e. The fourth industrial revolution arrived at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The period is characterized by the advancement of technology from analog electronic and mechanical devices to the digital technology (Agrawal et al. This industrial revolution was catalyzed by the invention of the transistor. The third industrial revolution or digital revolution came in the 1950s it brought computerization, which included the mainframe computers, personal computers (PCs) and the Internet, and the information and communication technology (ICT) that we continue to use today. There were major technological advances during this period, including the telephone, light bulbs, phonograph, the assembly line and mass production of goods and services. It brought the oil-powered internal combustion engine, electricity, electric motors and electrical communication. The second industrial revolution started in the second half of the nineteenth century. It was catalyzed by the scientific revolution of Isaac Newton, Robert Hooke and James Watt. Accordingly, the first industrial revolution brought mechanical innovations with the development of the steam engine, which was the key to the then industrial revolution. In order to understand and contextualize these technological advances, Marwala and Hurwitz ( 2017) posit that the developments in information technology could be best characterized by the four phases of revolution in human history, namely, the first, second, third and fourth industrial revolutions (Ashton 1948 Baten 2016). Life has certainly improved compared to our ancestors. In a sense, advances in technology have enabled humanity to conquer the barriers of nature. Agricultural yields have also seen an improvement, owing to technological advances. The speed to which the COVID-19 test was developed and deployed to deal with the pandemic that engulfed the globe in the first quarter of 2020 is testimony to this.

Technology has allowed human beings to have a better mode of diagnosing and even curing diseases.

Technological advances have allowed humanity to discover powerful energy sources, discover faster modes of transportation for humans, goods and services, improved the speed in which we communicate, landed human beings to the moon, and there is even an attempt to send a spacecraft on a mission to the sun. There is no time in history when virtually every aspect, whether human life, economies or politics among other things, has been affected by the rapid change brought through by developments in information technology (Harari 2018).
