                                  SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION:
                           HISTORY LESSONS. LANGUAGE AS A LINGUIST SEES IT.
                           THE COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS OF THE RESEARCHER AS
                            A COMPONENT OF HIS PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE.

                                 The  technology  revolution  is  upon  us.  Now  more  than  ever,
                          people  are  able  to  communicate  over  thousands  of  miles  with  the
                          greatest of ease. Wireless communication is much to thank for the ease
                          of  communication.  What  used  to take  weeks threw  mail,  now  takes
                          seconds over the Internet. But just like any revolution there are social
                          consequences, especially when the revolution takes place around the
                          globe.
                                 The internet is a very important form of communication as it
                          reaches a large amount of people with a considerably small amount of
                          effort.
                                 We  are  standing  at  the  precipice  of  what  some  call  the  4th
                          Industrial Revolution. The 4th Industrial Revolution is being described
                          as a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we
                          live, work, and relate to one another. We are rapidly moving to an era
                          where  billions  of  people  will  be  connected  by  mobile  devices  with
                          unprecedented processing power and storage capacity. Our access to
                          knowledge will be unlimited.
                                 It  is  a  revolution  that  already  is  disrupting  almost  every
                          industry  and  societal  institution  in  every  country.  Imagine  that
                          whatever can be imagined, probably will be a reality.
