Question 01
a)
• Renaissance: The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic,
political and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages. Generally described as
taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted the
rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art. Some of the greatest thinkers,
authors, statesmen, scientists and artists in human history thrived during this era, while
global exploration opened new lands and cultures to European commerce. The
Renaissance is credited with bridging the gap between the Middle Ages and modern-
day civilization. Renaissance Geniuses some of the most famous and ground-breaking
Renaissance intellectuals, artists, scientists and writers include the likes of: Leonardo
da Vinci (1452–1519): Italian painter, architect, inventor and “Renaissance man”
responsible for painting “The Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper. (editors, 2022)
• 20th Century: The 20th century began without planes, televisions, and of course, computers.
These inventions radically transformed the lives of people around the globe, with many changes
originating in the United States. This century witnessed two world wars, the Great Depression of
the 1930s, the Holocaust in Europe, the Cold War, revolutionary social equality movements, and
the exploration of space. This decade opened the century with some amazing scientific and
technological feats: the first flight by the Wright brothers, Henry Ford's first Model-T, and Albert
Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It also included hardships like the Boxer Rebellion and the San
Francisco Earthquake. The 1900s also saw the burgeoning of the silent movie industry (Georges
Melies' 400th film "A Trip to the Moon" was made in 1903) and the teddy bear. In 1908, there was
a massive and mysterious explosion in Siberia called the Tunguska event, today generally thought
to have been caused by an air burst from an asteroid. (Jennifer Rosenberg 2021).
• 4th Industrial revolution: Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third, the digital
revolution that has been occurring since the middle of the last century. It is characterized by a
fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological
spheres. The speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent. When compared with
previous industrial revolutions, the Fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace.
Moreover, it is disrupting almost every industry in every country. And the breadth and depth of
these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and
governance. The possibilities of billions of people connected by mobile devices, with
unprecedented processing power, storage capacity, and access to knowledge, are unlimited. And
these possibilities will be multiplied by emerging technology breakthroughs in fields such as
artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing,
nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, energy storage, and quantum computing
(Klaus Schwab 2015).
