Third Industrial Revolution (TIR)
In a book ‘Third Industrial Revolution (TIR)’ Mr.Jeremy
Riffkin analyzed the new world order that is taking place on the background of
present energy crises. Sources of energy were prime force behind all the
industrial development taken place so far. First industrial revolution was coal
based; second industrial revolution was based on oil as a source of energy. Oil
based industrialization also lead us to side effect such as pollution and
global warming. There is enough indication that with depleting oil reservoirs, second
Industrial revolution is nearing its end. According to him we are now moving
towards ‘Third Industrial Revolution’. TIR will be boon to tribal and farming communities due to their proximity to natural resources.
