Digital Revolution

{{Template}}

The '''Digital Revolution''', also sometimes called the '''third industrial revolution''', is the change from [[analog signal|analog]] [[machine|mechanical]] and [[electronics|electronic]] [[technology]] to [[digital technology]] that has taken place since about 1980 and continues to the present day.

Implicitly, the term also refers to the sweeping changes brought about by digital [[computing]] and [[communication]] [[technology]] during the latter half of the 20th century. Analogous to the [[Neolithic Revolution|Agricultural Revolution]] and [[Industrial Revolution]], the Digital Revolution marked the beginning of the [[Information Age]].

Central to this revolution is the mass production and widespread use of [[transistor-transistor logic|digital logic]] [[integrated circuits|circuits]], and its derived technologies, including the [[computer]], digital [[cellular phone]], and [[fax machine]].
