Revolutionary process that led to modern science (Part 3)

In the first half of the eighteenth century, there is the first industrial revolution, the product of the steam engine. The textile industries were demanding better energy production. The industrial revolution brought about a revolution in science.

During the Industrial Revolution, technology precedes science, there is an interaction. In France, for military necessity for their survival, is based technical center for scientific and technical develop useful products.

The first scientific-technical revolution is given by Carnot, the inventor of thermodynamics. The characteristics of the revolution are the steam engine, steel, chemical, petroleum, refrigeration technology for conservation.

Start of production machines and mechanisms, the division of labor, leaving aside the artisan, becoming the factory production units. It standardizes the consumption (second revolution), agriculture prevails. The state becomes a police state ; have to watch it all go homogenizing.

Western science ignores all the features. In the first half of the nineteenth century emerged in this growth process new powers (USA, Russia). For the first time in history there is something systematic like the relationship between science and technology.

For example, Bayer hired to investigate how to overcome the coloration of textiles, and thus compete with the British (the first scientific laboratory).

Science is linked to the productive apparatus, scientific research is expensive. England begins to lose its hegemonic power. Those who dominate the market are those that can invest in research.

With the assembly line, the individual is stripped of his knowledge, the knowledge was contained in all stages of production, dominated by a few. Begins heavy industry, transport with ciderúrgia. Begin early labor movement in England; surguiendo unionization of them.

Education becomes widespread. In State Gendarme welfare state is passed. Science and technology are already part of the same machinery. Convinación The technique is becoming technology.

The second industrial revolution was characterized by the dominance of the electricity and the development of chemistry.

Start of the third industrial revolution: the area of ​​research and development project starts Manjatan in the U.S., shows how the research and development area. To the 60's and 70 D. Laprice developed an index of science, tried to measure the explanation of science through numbers. Through publications scientific work is measured, 80% of those who were alive science. The public not perish.

In the decade of 40, 50, 60 west, is key to the qualitative and quantitative research. In the 80's, changes, there is a dynamic science and technology, scientific discoveries are made in a systematic way.

The third industrial revolution is characterized by technological advances: - robotics, pragmatic implementation of processes in production systems, the use of "robot" - microelectronics, processing and use information, - genetic engineering, altering the behavior of living things, - new materials, use of oil and synthetic fibers.

Sibernética investment in general, makes the line tends to disappear Fordist (factories were planned or intended to produce as much of a certain product), because they can be reprogrammed to change the amount in its production.
