Design- Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution

 

This was a period of time that had a lot of changes, through  many things such as agriculture, textiles, transportation and more. It began in 1740 in England and had a lot of advance in agriculture and in the production supply of food. It increased the commerce, foreign and domestic conditions as well, and these were also an advert in this revolution that made these inventions easier and more practical that changed people`s life. So by this more people had work and with the mechanism they had more goods.

Before the industrial revolution began they had problems to cut wood and also to carry them from place to another because it was very expensive to carry them with ships.
They always searched new intelligent designers so they can produce innovative mechanism and the first designer was the system engine in the 1712. This was designed by Thomas Newcomer and John Calley that was a total success but the idea was of Jim Andrew. Thomas Newcomer after 3 years designed this engine. This was first designed and then built, but when it was built they were using a lot of coal to make it work.

Agricultural had the position of the way life was, in England and it was an important source for textiles industry and by that the wool and cotton industry was increasing each year. In this period the agricultural industry was improving by the new techniques and mechanism.

 
 
During the revolution people used to live in villages and working as a craftsmen or in agriculture. Most of the people used to work with their families. With these new mechanism many farmers and workers lost their job because the machines then where more efficient. And where more capable of huge outcomes. By this they had to move to other towns so they can make jobs although they had less hours and less money.

Education was a good effect to the Industrial Revolution because it was important to the Industrial Revolution to learn children new things. For example, these children needed to learn how to read so, they wouldn't be able to work a machine. The problem was that then there was a lot of children working. Families and children were forced to work because they were desperately needing money. They used to work eighteen hours each day strictly.

British used many money , so they can make a ship to have more protection, in the island of Integra [English Harbour].But the problem was that by this work, many people were treated as slaves and then they used to live short life. By this work the government managed to make a lot of money because he didn't used to pay the people.

In this Revolution many people thought about their negative changes only, but there were also some positive changes. Some of the positive changes included that people were educated, new inventions were made and some machines were improve, and they improved on buildings with 6 Six new investments that where built.
