Abstract :
The era we live in is referred to as a fault or a historical leap. The fault and leap in front of us can continue in two distinct and different ways: 1) The Fourth Industrial Revolution: The continuation of the Third Industrial Revolution and based on the attitudes of the European Renaissance of the 15th century. 2) New Renaissance: A much broader and deeper development that the New Renaissance will be a leap from the European Renaissance. This article compares some of the needs for the continuation of each of the two distinct trends - the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the New Renaissance - with a brief focus on the role of the media.
