Chapter 18: Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution is the era of improvement in science and technology. Science applied to the practical tastes and applied to production. The production is the unique form of Industrialization. The production was first being plowed by a cow, then the second plowed by a machine. This type of production shows the major improvement in machinery. As the land mass for higher production grew, more use of machinery, means fewer need of people, leading to people getting kicked out and loss of jobs. When they became unemployed workers, they searched for jobs in the city. The jobs they found with the little experience they had, were in factories. The types of jobs were spinning, cutting, and sewing. These jobs were conducted on a production line, meaning they would do the same things everyday. Because of high demand, they would work long hours, for so little pay, have few to no breaks, no vacations, and would continue to work even when they were injured because it was their source of income.
