Question

question 6 (1 point) what distinguishes the fourth industrial revolution from previous ones? use of mass production and electricity replacement of labor with mechanization digital computing and automation digitization, communication, and connectivity focus on steam and water power question 7 (1 point) which of the following is not a general goal of the digital thread? information and every digital handover are structured, parsable, and revision - controlled. information is only entered once in the system and automatically distributed or linked to other information and/or systems as needed. delivering the right information at the right place at the right time. downstream processes maximize the translation or transformation of information. downstream systems maintain and leverage the digital associativity of information when changes occur.

Explanation:

For Question 6, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by digitization, communication, and connectivity. Mass - production and electricity were hallmarks of the Second Industrial Revolution, mechanization of labor was part of the First, digital computing and automation are related but not as comprehensive as digitization etc., and steam and water power were for the First Industrial Revolution.
For Question 7, the goals of a digital thread include structured information handover, single - entry and distribution of information, timely and accurate information delivery, and leveraging digital associativity. Maximizing translation or transformation of information in downstream processes is not a general goal of the digital thread.

Answer:

Question 6: Digitization, communication, and connectivity
Question 7: Downstream processes maximize the translation or transformation of information.
