The first industrial revolution is widely considered to be FARMING.
Man's ability to understand & control nature lead to the science of farming.
And thus, man overcame the fear of starving.
The second industrial revolution is known as the HYDRO-ELECTRIC era.
Where mankind overcame or fear of not having clothing and shelter.
Which brings us to today; 2015, where we find ourselves in the middle of the third industrial revolution, the digital revolution.
Our two biggest industries are religion and medicine.
Both of these pursuits openly acknowledge and exploit our current biggest fear; death.
There is a Maslow-type hierarchy of needs at work here.
What if, through science, mankind is able to better understand our illusions and misconceptions of a possible death?
We are about to more widely overcome our fear of death.
It seems that this is true. This is where we are at if you live in a modern industrialized society.
Welcome aboard.
...oh yeah, when the digital age touches you, when you learn that we live eternally, when we, through science, remove the fear of death, how will that change you?
