What are 'tech revolutions'?

History is full of 'tech revolutions' where new inventions drastically changed society and work. From the steam engine to computers, each era brought fears of job losses, but ultimately led to new types of jobs and economic growth. AI is seen as the latest in this long line, transforming industries and demanding new skills rather than simply wiping out employment.
