The Industrial Revolution Sparked Invention

The Theme of our Almanac is Science and Technology so my Historical Analysis will be based off of the Science and Technology of the Industrial Revolution. My historical analysis will be about the inventions during the Industrial Revolution. The three I will be focusing on: The Water Frame, The Improved Steam Engine and the Sewing Machine. All three of those inventions all offer some sort of Problem, Progress and Promise to the Industrial Revolution. I will be analyzing those three things.

The Industrial Revolution was a crucial time in world history. During the Industrial Revolution, many advanced ideas were just being invented and new materials were being discovered. The amount of employment went up. Children then had to work in dangerous conditions to help to support their families, and were useful because they could move in small spaces and could be paid less. Since then, child labor has been substantially reduced due to new laws and machines that were made to do the work children did (Child).

The Industrial Revolution was a period of technological improvement that took place in Britain from about 1750 into the 1900’s. To many, the Industrial Revolution was the gateway into modern-day factories and machinery. The Industrial Revolution was spurred by the competition of Britain against India or China. India and China were both very productive in the production of goods, meaning the people of Britain had to buy the cheap products imported from India and China. British businessmen developed new technology so they could manufacture their own cotton textiles, the main product imported into Britain. Although some historians believe that the Industrial revolution was a blessing

One invention that was produced during the industrial revolution was the cotton gin made by American inventor by the name of Eli Whitney. This device allowed workers to decrease the amount of time it took to clean cotton. Society was changed by the industrial revolution because before all the work that was done by hand is now almost entirely done by machines. With these new machines came factories which enabled all members of the family home to work and with it came a boom to what we now know as the middle class. Prior to the integration of machinery into the work force what we now know as the middle class was virtually nonexistent. There were the elite upper class and the impoverished lower class. However a middle class was not the only byproduct

All in all, without the development of the industrial Revolution, we would not have the advancements we have today to make our life’s proficient and productive. Socially we have advanced into a more equal society. Economically we have advanced into an efficient, profitable industry. Politically we have made new democracy’s to help keep our advancements organized. Next time you look at your phone, know that the Industrial Revolution made it possible for all of your valuables to be

Throughout history, society has expanded and thrived around the idea of new innovation, discovery of unexplored areas, and the invention of products that would revolutionize the world for centuries to come. These innovations would be used for centuries before another would finally be made to take its place. However, ever since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, with the introduction of novelties such as television and the Internet, the world has begun to drift in a different direction: one based around constant access to all information. This desire for new information led to a widespread desire for novelty, which businesses were able to use to their advantage, successfully conning millions of people out of billions of dollars each year.

During the Industrial Revolution, inventions helped increase productivity and saved time. When people had to do all the work by hand, it took a long time to do basic things. They did not get as much done. The inventions people made, made working more productive and easier. When people made things by hand made they could not make as many product because it took them a long time just to make each one. Therefore they could not sell to many. When new inventions were made it increased productivity. This gave them the ability to sell more than before. During the Industrial Revolution, inventions were made that helped people out. It also lead to some people losing their jobs.

The industrial revolution was a turning point in history for many countries. It led to so many new things. New inventions, cities and new ideas were developed during this crucial time period. This was also the time of harsh working conditions and depression.

The advances in technology helped the industries to grow and to develop, fueling the America Industrial Revolution. One of the main advances was the invention of the electricity and the development of a method that could produce and distribute electrical power. With the creation of the electricity, the industries does not depended on water anymore as the source for powering machines, and with the method to distribute electrical power does not needed to be localized next to water. The other main advance was the invention of the telephone, which opened the door for mass communication. With this creation, business could not speak directly with customers, reducing the number of production mistakes, customers could receive immediate answers to their

Many new inventions caused the revolution.The strength of steel, the power of the Steam engine, and the convenience of the assembly line made the revolution possible.

Sustainable development is a multi-dimensional method of thinking about the interdependencies between natural, social, and economic systems in the world.

World Commission on Environment and Sustainability (Brundtland Commission, 1987), defines sustainable development as the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. Further sustainability is defined as the achievement of policies and procedures which are environmentally sound, economically viable and socially just as per the description given by The University of Wisconsin

Sustainable development means that the present generations should be able to make use of resources to live better lives in such a manner that it does not compromise the ability of future generations. For sustainable development to occur, there needs to be sustainable economic, ecological and community development. Society needs to be educated about ways in which they can use resources, especially natural, in such a manner that it does not cause harm to the environment and put future generations lives at risk.

The actual definition of sustainable development may not be accepted by everyone but what is important is the recognition that sustainable development is about the balance of the connected Es, Economy, Environment, and Equity.

Sustainable development is defined as “Development that meets the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (IISD, par. 1 ).
