We
live in a modern world today, when the technology is developed well and make
our life easier. We can make everything in a short time, thanks to technology. But
do you know when exactly the technology was invented? It was invented around 18th
to 19th century in Britain. We called it, the Golden Age.
Golden
age in Britain means a great revolution began here, an industrial revolution
that change the world. Before the golden age came, people lives in rural communities.
They did almost everything with hand tools or traditional machine. Then, there
were iron and coal ore which start it all. When the Britain start their revolution
by built many factories with special-purpose machinery, mss production, industrialization,
and it surely brought many goods to all the people. Standard of living for some
people was improved and it marks Britain as the pioneer where the great
revolution began.
There
are some things that were born from the revolution. First is from the textile
industry was in 1764, James Hargreaves, an Englishman, invented
the Spinning Jenny. It was a machine that could produce more with less human
energy. Then, the
spinning jenny was improved upon by British inventor Samuel Compton. The second
is the steaming machine which was invented on 1792 by an Englishman, Thoman
Newcomen.
That were only two example but if I could
add more, there were improvement in transportation, building, banking, and
communication. There’s so much things invented in Golden Age that change the
world which we live today.
