STRAND 6: Political Impact
Strand One:Toffler’s Three Waves
Alvin Toffler (1980) suggested that there have been three major “waves” (p. 5) of dynamic,
sweeping advancements that have led to significant social evolution in the places where
the waves have washed over.
Agricultural AgeToffler (1980) identified the “First Wave” (p. 13) as the
period where people began to harness the power of the land. The agricultural age began around 8000 B.C. It diminished
during the 1600s.

Alvin Toffler (1980) suggested that there have been three major “waves” (p. 5) of dynamic,
sweeping advancements that have led to significant social evolution in the places where
the waves have washed over.
Industrial AgeThe transition into the “Second Wave” (Toffler, 1980, p. 14) was marked by the Industrial Revolution. This wave began between 1650 and 1750 and is currently in the process of
receding.

Information AgeThe initial stages of the Third Wave” (Toffler,1980, p. 14)
began in the late 20th century and is still advancing around the globe.
Strand One:Toffler’s Three Waves
The current debate revolves around whether or not a fourth wave is currently colliding with the remnants of industrialization and information
processing.
???? AgeThere are many perspectives dealing with what characterizes
the current wave. Thornburg (Laureate Education, 2008) suggested a communication age. Dede (Laureate Education,
2008) hypothesized that biotechnology will mark the next wave. Other possibilities include globalization,
environmental concerns, and so forth.
