چکیده
Abstract This study has compared the technological regimes of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and Third (3IR) technologies. If we limit comparison based on absolute values representing diverse elements regime, 4IR technologies are more original science-based have a longer cycle time (TCT). However, all these differences turn insignificant or reversed when is made using normalized variables reflecting over-time trends. Moreover, technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), an impact subsequent innovations in less wide fields (lower degree generality) with 3IR, which means that they may not be counted as new general-purpose technology. Furthermore, TCT AI, tend to keep citing 3IR older. In this sense, much radical break from past but evolutionary, whereas correspond because shorter rely old At aggregate level, 21st century heavily science, combining knowledge (higher originality) becoming cycled having generality), true just few commonly associated so-called across board Finally, although five representative do command radically different still outstanding, is, higher originality, generality, average 2010s.
