Industrial revolution. Transcript

In the late 1700s most people worked in the fields on land they did not own. Those who owned the land called aristocrats lived in elegant manner houses; servants raised their children and did their housework. The landowners and the people who worked for them depended upon each other. It was a system that had existed for centuries.

In towns across England and the United States the series of extraordinary innovations would alter the way people lived and worked for the next 150 years. Inventors have found new ways to harness nature energy. They built new kinds of machine powered by water, steam and coal. The new machines replaced hand-power tools; they did the same work, only cheaper and faster. Much of the work was done outside the home, in specially designed buildings — the first factories. The mechanization began in the textile mills of England where one machine, attached to a spinning wheel, could do the work of 50 people. Fuel, clothing and food all became more affordable.

With the development of locomotives and steamboats manufactured goods could now be sold half way around the world. Families moved from the villages of their ancestors to new industrial towns and the new class of people emerged — workers who produce goods. Industrialists, the people who owned the factories, employed hundreds, sometimes thousands of people and they made enormous profits in their industrial centers. But while the industrial revolution brought wealth to some and jobs for others, it came with the price tag. Pollution from coal powered factories turned the cities black.

Lack of housing created the first urban slums and the demand for more and more goods and higher profits brought the exploitation of workers including children. Some of the worst conditions were seen in the textile mills of new England in the 1830 a ten years mill girl described her life:” We’re paid 10 dollars a week. In the working hours all other girls extended from 5 o’clock in the morning till 7 in the evening with 1.5 hour for reckless and for dinner”.

It was the hiring of the children some as young as 5 years old thorough in 1800 and early 1900 that outraged the public. Workers and reformers protested, they formed the unions and associations and fought for government regulations to limit the work day and protect children. These laws helped to address many of the abuses brought on by the industrial revolution.

Today we are in the middle of another revolution — a technological revolution. We live in what is called “The global village” because we can connect with people around the world as if they lived next door and we can work anytime and anywhere. You will have to wait and see where this new revolution leads.
