What is
industrial
revolution?
"For the first time in history, the living standards of
the masses of ordinary people have begun to
undergo sustained growth. Nothing remotely like
this economic behavior has happened before.“
-Robert E. Lucas, Jr.
Introduction:The start of
industrial revolution
England, which by 1750 was one of
the richest countries in the world and
ruled an empire that occupied one-
fourth of the planet's territory, saw
the beginning of the Industrial
Revolution. The textile industry in
England, which was battling to create
things more quickly and affordably for
expanding consumer markets, was
where it all began. It has traditionally
taken a lot of expertise and time to
make fabric by hand for pants, shirts,
socks, bedspreads, and other
household things.

industrial revolution
In addition, plagues and other
illnesses were very widespread.
Machines were therefore
introduced to increase
productive output. Particularly
from Britain came the Industrial
Revolution due to the presence
of natural resources including
coal, iron ore, and developed
farmland. Additionally, because
of the expanding agricultural
system, the population increase
was steady.
Cause of industrial
revolution
Numerous important factors worked
together to bring forth the Industrial
Revolution. The desire to the
improvement of human qualities, to
make technical progress the causes of
a revolution in industry. However, the
three main reasons for the Industrial
Revolution are as follows:
• Dependency on technology
• Impact of education
• Protestant Reformation

Impacts of Industrial
Revolution
The Industrial Revolution had both
beneficial and bad effects on Great
Britain's population, economy, and
society. Positively, innovations like
the steam engine helped Britain and
other countries become more
skilled at manufacturing and
engineering. Britain was by far the
richest country as it started to
produce more effectively. As a
result, new standards were created
to create an industrial economy.
Industrial Revolution today
We are still living through the Industrial Revolution today. Infrastructure, modern medicine, and
war machines are all examples of how the Industrial Revolution has had a significant impact. Each
new technical development is a result of the Industrial Revolution. One such example of Industrial
revolution is the Social Media or Internet. The Internet is bringing a revolution along with it.
