First Industrial Revolution (1750 to 1850 CE)
We can really divide the Industrial Revolution(s) into two distinct phases: the First Industrial Revolution (1750 to 1850 CE), and the Second Industrial Revolution (1850 to 1910 CE). The first phase of the Industrial Revolution(s) is, in some ways, primarily a transition to factory production and the development of the necessary infrastructure to make moving goods to market easier. So for this task, we’re just going to look at two major areas of transformation: textiles and transportation.
1. Innovations in Textile Production.
For this part of the task, you will go to Google Classroom, you have a chart listing each of these inventions. You will need to discover the name of the inventor of each of these technologies, as well as their purpose and long-term effects. I have included a video of the technology being used so that you can better visualize the purpose and use of each.
