The Industrial Revolution is the development of industries on a large scale, and it is filled with factory owners and workers. This revolution had started in the 1800s in Europe and the United States. This revolution was created because they wanted to transform economies and innovations worldwide. “During the early Industrial revolution, Britain stood alone as the world’s industrial giant” (World History- pg. 660). Britain then tried to enforce strict rules that do not let people send their own inventions. The rules were working for a while, but things changed leading toward a worldwide revolution.

By 1901, that figure reached 15 million metric tons.” (World History-page 663). Chemists had started to make hundreds or new products like medicines, perfume, soap, and chemical fertilizers that became a “key role” in the increase of food production. The biggest creation that a chemist had made was dynamite. “ In 1866, the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, an explosive much safer than others used at the time. It was widely used in a construction and, to Nobel’s dismay, in warfare. Dynamite earned Nobel a huge fortune, which he willed to fund famous Nobel prizes that are still awarded today” (World History-page 663). Not long after this electricity replaced steam. Scientist started to tinker with electricity, batteries were created, but electricity wasn’t a main power source. It wasn’t till Michael Faraday’s creation, when electricity went huge. “Later, the English chemist Michael Faraday created the first simple electric motor and the first dynamo, a machine that generates electricity. Today, all generators and transformers work on the …show more content…
For example, steel was used quite a bit back then and we still use steel today. “Steel is used in a wide number of applications in modern construction, including the building of railways, roads, buildings, appliances and other infrastructures. In fact, most modern structures, such as skyscrapers, stadiums, airports and bridges, are created with a durable steel skeleton. Even structures that use concrete also use steel as a reinforcing material. Steel is also used in many different types of vehicles and appliances. It is also used in basic construction materials, due to its durability and strength. Some of those materials include screws, nails and bolts. It is also used in industries, such as mining, pipeline transport, aerospace, shipbuilding and heavy equipment design. Steel is also found in other common materials, such as basic tools, steel wool and personal armored vests for security and law enforcement. In addition to practical uses, steel is also employed in artistic uses, such as sculptures, framing and display structures.” (Mid City Steel). In conclusion the technology that was created back then is the foundation for almost everything we have now. Lights, iphones, computers, cars, tv’s, buildings, medicine and so much more, all started with the effect of technology during the Industrial
