The Agricultural revolution started in the 18th and early 19th century. "The main changes comprised crop rotation, new machinery, increased capital investment, scientific breeding, land reclamation and enclosure of common lands. Originating in Britain, these advances led to greatly increased agricultural productivity in Europe.

Industrialization caused cities to grow very rapidly.In 1700, Europe's population was at about 110 million, and by 1850 itwas upto 260 million. Everyone came to the cities in search of work in mills and factories. The working conditions were not good people had to work long hours up to 16 hours a day. The machines that they operated were unsafe and many pople got hurt and some even died. When these people got hurt there was no worker's comp so the workers had to pay there own bill, not the company. There was also child labor and women worked to because it didn't cost as much to employ them.Many people joined unions and started strikesfor better working conditions and better pay. pay.

During the first telephone call he uttered the famous words to his assistant, "Mr. Watson -- come here -- I want to see you."(Bellis) This revolutionary device took off and is now one of the most common household items on the market. Cell phones are becoming common to all ages.
The first airplane flew on December 17, 1903 for twelve seconds. It had been built by Wilbur and Orville Wright. This invention "took off" to become the massive jets we travel in today. Now days its easy to travel around the world in a day or less thanks to the Wright brothers flying machine.

Industrial Revolution
It all began in Great Britain in the 18th century and continued through the 19th into the United States. It continues to go on in some parts of the world today. The Industrial Revolution was the result of many changes that transformed many agricultural economies into industrial ones. The first changes were the nature of the production: whats was produced and where and how. Goods that were hand made in homes were now made by big machines in factorys. Procutivity and efficiency grew dramatically through application of scientific knowledge to the manufacturing business.
Economic changes caused social changes, including the movement of people to the cities, a greater variety of material goods available, and new ways of doing business. The Industrial Revolution was the first step to modern development. With this modern development came military technology to make the United States one of the most p]]> Wed, 14 Nov 2007 10:18:15 +0000 mod
