The Birthplace of Industrial Revolution




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.
