What was the industrial revolution? Industrial Revolution: the totality of the changes in economic and social organization that began about 1760 in England and later in other countries, characterized chiefly by the replacement of hand tools with power-driven machines and by the concentration of industry in large establishments. Actually, there were two industrial revolutions: 1760s-1850 (England) 1860s-1920s (USA )

For each of the following eight images you view, analyze the following with your group: 1.Describe what is in the picture. 2.What is the point of view of the author? What is the purpose? i.e. what is it trying to show? Other groups, be prepared to build off ideas of initial group.
22
As always, we should ask: WHY NOW? (1750s) Factors That Allowed For Industrialization- pg. 582
23
Factors That Allowed For Industrialization 1). Better Farming Practices more people fed at lower prices & with less labor people could buy other goods 2) Abundant Food Supply Larger population- provides a large labor force to work in factories 3) Supply of capital ($) investing in new machines and factories; Entrepreneurs: trying to find new ways to make $$ 4) Abundance of natural resources transporting raw materials and products quicker 5) Supply of markets to sell to more people could sell more goods in more places

The Industrial Revolution: A Review What was it?! 1.Emphasis on production (labor intensive or produced by machines) 2.Shift towards urbanization 3.New inventions and technological innovations 4.#3 contributes to changes in lifestyle 5.#3 contributes to changes in work 6.Introduction of wage laborer (person selling labor as a commodity) 7.Need for reform in workplace 8.Spread of capitalism throughout the world 9.Need for raw materials to manufacture- transforms economy 10.Environmental catastrophe from production, consumption
39
At its most foundational base: 1)What is the purpose of technology? 2)What are the drawbacks of the purpose of technology? 3)What are the advantages of the purpose of technology?
40
How do mass produced- as opposed to individually made- items change 18 th century society?
41
Compare to Today: How does the “digital world” and its inventions change society?
42
How does transportation change 18 th century society? Consider— -Living conditions -Geography -Economy -Diet -Other???
44
As this is a unit examining science/technology & its impact on society: What do you think was the most influential invention of the past century? 1900-2000 Why?
48
In a group, select what you think to be the most influential/important invention of the 20 th century. Get “Mr. Schaefer’s Approval” once your group comes to a consensus. Answer the questions and be prepared to defend your invention.

It was the world's first operational packet switching network originally used for countermeasures in the event of nuclear attack by the commies. Today we know it as the Internet.

Industrialization: Are machines beginning to replace “the man?” Psychological implications of mechanization:
55
Engraving of a rioting mob of Luddites, British workers who were opposed to increasing mechanization of jobs, as depicted by 19th Cent. illustrator Phiz (aka Hablot Knight Browne). United Kingdom, 1813
56
Fourteen Luddites were hanged by 1813 & more were transported to Australia as thousands of people were fined. The severe disturbances died down, and the troops were gradually withdrawn, but machine-breaking continued until 1817.

Urbanization: process of moving from the countryside to the city

A later 19th century image, this painting depicts women factory workers at rest rather than at the laborious tasks of the cotton mills. As the conventional trends of the time dictated, pictorial painted images needed to be easy for the eye as well as the conscience. Although not within their place of work and pictured outside the walls of the cotton mills, the mill girls themselves appears to portray the Victorian sentimentality of the workplace and a middle class sensibility of rest. No evidence of hard work is portrayed, and the reference to the working class is illustrated through the women' s poses (classical and relaxed), cleanliness, simple garments, hair netting and bare feet. A sense of camaraderie is portrayed through the placement of the young women in pairs. The solid, angular and austere factory buildings in the background serve as a backdrop for this image. They appear impenetrable, with their windows darker still. The smoking chimneys give evidence to the technology of the steam engines that power the speedy looms, but no evidence is given to the conditions inside the workplace save for the netting on the girls' hair (pictured as a reference to the danger of accidents to the hair.) Perhaps the most obscure image is the most important. The tiny central image of a dark and silhouetted man serves as the centre of the young women's universe. The mill owner is the figure around which their life depends and is focused. The action of the painting illustrates this as well. Source: umassd.eduumassd.edu
