Abstract
The history of civilization has seen continuous evolutionary progress, occasionally culminating in changes that are revolutionary. In the broadest classification, three such revolutions are apparent, each one building upon the previous in a pattern of exponential growth. The agricultural, industrial and information revolutions have translated into massive social, political and economic change for people.
