Industrial Revolution  1700-1914 Fraase, Lindsay, and Justin

** "Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success." ** **Thomas A. Edison**

====**There are a lot of events that happened at this time that helped us move towards better technology. At this time, railroads were the way of bringing goods to places. So in 1804, the first steam-powered locomotive ran on a rail-line. This lead other inventors to invent more steam-powered locomotives that became more efficient. With in 20 years, locomotives were able to reach 50 miles per hour. this really sped up production.**====

====**Cotton was a source that was used by almost everyone. It wasn't that easy to make though. It was a two step process. It was usually done by women that used a method known as cottage industry. They mostly did this in their own homes. This was a long process that took time to make. But then there was an invention that made weaving faster. It was called the "Flying shuttle". Now they need a fatser way to make thread. Then the spinning jenny was invented making thread faster and easier then ever.**====

====**Because of the new inventions and technology, factories reached new problems. They looked for more people to hire because they wanted to run the machines as much as possible. These rural people worked in shifts to keep the machines running.m**==== ====**Theses working environments weren't the best to work in. If you were late ever, you would be fined. Child workers were oftern beaten. The workers would some day be replaced by machines that will do no errors.**====
