Going through industrial revolutions have been the greatest impacts on human kind and its behaviour. Technology, science, literature and many other every day existences were developing speedily throughout the 18th and 19th century that entirely changed the human race. Philosophers have been analysing and explaining the reasons and causes for the industrial improvement society had gone through and expectantly we managed to have an insight of how it evolved and affected our economy. Realising the
true revolution that had an effect in all aspects of life since the invention of fire. It possessed necessary prerequisites, such as formidable population size, bountiful coal and iron deposits, and the demand of such a revolution, to gain a head start over the rest of the world. The confluence of such factors culminated in a perfect storm, a storm that destined humanity to become more than an average species. The Industrial Revolution in the Great Britain in the 1800s was not just a revolution in
The world in the mid-late 19th century underwent vast economic, social, and cultural change as a result of the Industrial Revolution. Not only was this era characterized by the radical transformation of multiple countries into industrialized powerhouses, it also saw the development of new schools of thought. One of the most prominent movements that emerged during the mid-late 19th century was Realism, in which it called for authors to create literature that depicted contemporary life in a completely
From the time-span of the 18th century and the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution grew and impacted the world in many ways.

As the 19th century was starting, so was the start of the Industrial Revolution. The 1800s began with a bang as Count Alessandro Volta invented the first battery. Volta is the reason why we now measure electricity in “volts.” About ten years later Joseph Nicephore Niepce would create a machine that could produce a likeness or photograph. The first photos were taken around his house, the process took several hours to complete. A little later in the same year, the first steamed powertrain was perfected
Industrialization in America The Industrial Revolution in the US occurred over a period stretching for over a century, as the production of commodities changed from home businesses to machine-aided production in factories. This was after the factory system evolved from the cottage industry just at the beginning of Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. The cottage industry was driven by workers who would buy raw materials from merchants and then take it home so that they could produce specific
The Industrial Revolution took place from the 18th to 19th century and predominantly effected Brittan. It was the period when a transition occurred with current manufacturing processes. The slow production of textiles provoked inventor James Hargreaves to invent the spinning Jenny which was one of the many causes that lead to the Industrial Revolution. Shortly, hand production methods shifted to machine production, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes were introduced, there was
