The Third Industrial Revolution was largely based on the discovery of the semiconductor chip, making the digital revolution possible. IBM set up its first major office in South Africa in 1952, signifying the advent of the Third Industrial Revolution in the country. The next industrial revolution, also known as the ‘second wave of the internet’ was already on the country’s heels by the time South Africa had finally caught up and could contribute to the development of Third Industrial Revolution technologies. (...) It can be argued that South Africa is still stuck in the Second and Third Industrial Revolutions. Has the COVID-19 pandemic spurred South Africa’s preparedness for the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
