Toffler’s Three Waves

Past, Present, Future

The Good, The Better, The Technologically Advanced!!

Agricultural Wave

• 1800BC-1750AD• Extended families tied to the land and

dependent on the survival of crops. • Families traveled by walking or horse. • Communication consisted of talking face to

face or word traveling with the Pony Express• Education was simple including few books,

classes with a variety of age groups, and home schooling.

Industrial Wave

• 1750-1955• Family changed to nuclear units due to

industrialization. • Families were separated to work in factories and

towns.• Businesses went top down, bureaucracies were in

place, and factories went up.• People continued to communicate face to face with

the addition of landline telephones.• Educaiton saw the addition of film strips, video, TV,

students grouped by age and grade, and books.

Informational Wave

• 1955-1995• Single parent families/two working

parents/latch key kids• Business has moved into a collaborative

teamwork environment with flexible hours. Locations are varied.

• Planes and automobiles are prevalent• Communication has taken a massive leap

with the use of cellular phones, computers, and internet. Our youth is now digitalized.

Fourth Wave/ “Humanology”

• A continuous process from the agricultural, industrial, to informational age to the multi facets of technological advances we see today.

• Communication and Creativity is and will play an important role

• Values, morals, and standards must be implemented• Biotechnologies have started and will continue to

develop • All knowledge based facets are being influenced and

will continue to be influenced and changed.• Is it possible that the human will actually become the

computer instead of manipulating the machine?
