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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Page 11: Timeline Project J. Michael Dillon Walden University Evolution of Educational Technology EDUC-8840-2 Dr. Keith Pratt, Professor August 9, 2009

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.
