Since 2000, there has been speculations of a new technological revolution which would focus on the fields of nanotechnologies, alternative fuel and energy systems, biotechnologies, genetic engineering, new materials technologies and so on. [10] The Second Machine Age is the term adopted in a 2014 book by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee.
The 737-100 and -200 were known simply as the "Boeing 737" at first; when the 737 Next Generation was introduced, and the 737-300, -400, and -500 were retrospectively designated as the 737 Classic, the 737-100 and -200 became known as the 737 Original to distinguish these even-older airplanes from the Classics.

The altitude of a flying plane, the power of a car's motor, and the roaring loud sounds of complex machinery were all signs of man's intelligence and excellence which the art of dance had to emphasize and praise.
Meanwhile, start-up firms inhabit different value networks, at least until the day that their disruptive innovation is able to invade the older value network. At that time, the established firm in that network can at best only fend off the market share attack with a me-too entry, for which survival (not thriving) is the only reward. [5]
The earliest methods of stone tool making, known as the Oldowan "industry", date back to at least 2.3 million years ago. [7] This era of stone tool use is called the Paleolithic , or "Old stone age", and spans all of human history up to the development of agriculture approximately 12,000 years ago.
