Thanks to the Age of Enlightenment and the Renaissance, the cyclical way of thinking changed and progressive thinking took its place. Throughout the decades, the increase in food output sustained a large population and boosted trade.
All of these developments underpinned the Industrial Revolution. The increased use of machines over human and animal power decreased the need for farm workers so they took to cities for new job opportunities, and important industrial revolution inventions paved the way for more practical and easier life.
The developments from the period between the mid-1700s and 1840, known as the Industrial Revolution, shaped our modern world. These rapid and social changes not only affected our way of life but also had a great impact on the devices and tools we use today.
From steam engines to locomotives, industrial revolution creations reshaped society. This process was so rapid that Britain’s population living in towns in 1750 was only 15 percent, but by 1900, 80 percent of the entire population of Great Britain lived in either towns or cities.
Thanks to the change in human thinking, technological developments, and the abundance of food, the world entered a new phase. The inventions during the industrial revolution allowed us to reshape modern society.

In Britain 1800 to 1900.
20,000 Waterwheels decreased in number.
Windmills decreased in number.
The Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1,500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared.
The Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!!
For every single Waterwheel in 1800 there were now 500 James Watt type Steam Powered Engines in 1900 !!! And you don't need a flowing river of water for any of them either so they can be sited anywhere !!!
That's an increase in Power availability for the whole country of between 400 and 500 times!!! In one human lifetime.
A percentage increase of between 40,000 % and 50,000 % !!!
If that's not an Industrial Revolution then I don't know what is !!!
All those other so-called Industrial Revolutions and Inventions Agricultural, Spinning and Weaving etc etc. are just IMPROVEMENTS in technology and science that's been ongoing for over 2000 years. They're not " Industrial Revolutions " They can't compare to the changes James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine brought about.
That's a TRUE Industrial Revolution.
It was only one invention that kicked off the Industrial Revolution.
James Watt's invention of the world's first PRACTICAL High Pressure Steam Engine.
Watt dumped Newcomen's Atmospheric Power and Arkwright's Water-Power for High Pressure Steam Power.
It was a Power Revolution.
The Flying Shuttle? That was just plain common-sense.
Did not directly mention steam engines for pumping water. Late in the age also came the industrial process for producing nitrogen for fertilizer. A vital invention for feeding humanity. Pumps were vital for the mining industry. One of the first applications for steam engines. It is this combination of pump and steam was so important. Rope making machinery was also significant for the age of sail. One of the very early demands for products that pushed the need for industrial machinery. Supplying navies and commercial trade required very large supplies of material and equipment for ships. Another technology that may have been highly influential was clocks. Not just for technical reasons. Modern clocks became vital for ship navigation. This required a revolutionary new type of clock that could work on swaying ships, all climates and great precision for long sea voyages. At what point were people inspired to realize all kinds of machinery for all kinds of work could be possible. predating the industrial revolution the grinding of grain was one of the biggest demands for machinery. Resulting in wind and water powered mills. The Dutch also pumped water and cut timber for sailing ships with windmills. The Dutch revolutionized ship trading by providing legal, financial and insurance services for international trade .Making the Netherlands one of the richest nations in Europe. Greatly reducing risks. Increasing international trade and growth in Europe. All pushing the need for machinery. The printing of books was another influencing factor. Allowing a revolution in communication and education. Also allowing families to have bibles in their native languages. This lead to long lasting religious wars. But massed education of middle classes helped with the industrial revolution. International trade and warfare impacting the industrial revolution. Good army muskets for example required mass production of good quality and interchangeable parts. So guns could be maintained. This included development methods of vital quality control systems. Systemized mapping methods are another interesting factor. The study of the sciences was another factor. Such as with Sir Isaac Newton. Sciences being more significant as the industrial age progressed.
The first Industrial Revolution, ( The most important Revolution ), only needed one single invention, James Watt's invention of the Steam Powered Engine.
James Watt dumped Newcomen's Atmospheric Power for Steam Power.
To achieve this he had to invent a new engine, the world's first practical Steam Engine.
I'm afraid Newcomen's Atmospheric Pump was a 70years long dead-end.
It was a Power Revolution.
Imagine the Industrial Revolution without Watt's Steam Engine, it wouldn't have happened.
Textiles? Flying Shuttle?
Hola
What's the name of the name of the song blasting in the background, it's a real good jam
I loved the part about the
Techniques for sewing clothes together seem to fill an inordinate amount of these choices. Iron ships powered by steam (circa 1850s, France, US, Britain), which replaced the fragile sailing ships of the day and allowed for safe, modern travel for the middle classes of the world, doesn't rate a mention? The Gatling gun (England, 1861) and/or the rifled musket (US, 1860s) enabled industrialized countries to conquer non-industrialized ones more quickly, which actually saved lives in the long run. Once conquered, the modern elements of society like roads, hygiene, the postal service, the civil service, etc., were then installed in those countries, which vastly improved the quality of life there. An odd way to look at it for some, but true nonetheless.

Hi
Thomas Newcomen from Dartmouth, Devon, built the first practical, reliable Steam Engine. Watt merely increased its efficiency. Richard Trevithick from Cornwall built the first self propelled Steam Engine.
Industrial Revolution was lit.
Wasn’t the first steam engine invented 2,000 years early in Ancient Rome
I thought the doppler effect was something about cars cause the beginning is showing a car ODD

What about the transistors ?!
Anno domini
Can you name a video on space fountain
Make a video on each of those facsinating inventions
Assembly line was also an innovation that reduced the time for production
Is this the same guy who voices over on The B1M?
Industrial revolution is the best thing happened in United States
It made US a superpower
These are some sort of great things
no bots… YES
Great one.
Ilike you
