Industrial Revolution and its Effects

Industrial Revolution was a period from 1750 to 1850, that began in Great Britain. It enabled  major technological, socioeconomic and cultural changes to happen and then spread throughout rhe world. Even everything was influenced by the Industrial Revolution.

An economy based on manual labour was replaced with the industry and manufacture of machinery. It is known thht it began with the mechanisation of textile industries and the progress of iron-making techniques, and trade. More over, trading was expanded by the introdution of canals, improved roads and railways.
There was an increase in the population and average income. The capacity of production was supported thanks to the steam power and powered machinery.

The society was affected by this revolution, too : different classes started to emerge. Also, technological and economic progress gained strength with the improvement of steam-powered ships, railways, internal combustion engine and electrical power generation. (19th century).

Henry Ford (innovator): "There is but one rule for the industrialist, and that is: Make the highest quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible."

  2. In the early stage of the industrial revolution, steam certainly was important. Many ships plying the seas today run on steam. Nuclear generation plants use steam and are thus a form of 'steam engine'.
    All forms of 'high speed' (for the day) transportation ran on steam prior to the invention of the internal combustion engine.
