These technological advancements can be traced back to pre-historic periodswhere humans first started using stone tools for hunting and invented methods to control the useof fire [1][2]. The curiosity of humans has led to multiple eras of technological advancementsthus far. However, modern technology-centric societies are shaped by inventions over a series ofindustrial revolutions. As accepted by several industrialists, researchers and educators, modernsociety has been through three periods of industrial revolutions and is now entering the fourthindustrial revolution [3][4].
