The Industrial Revolution impacts my life today by my ability to have a job and work. At this point in time, women are now frequently seen in the workforce. If not for this, would the only option for women still be to stay home with the kids? I appreciate the fact that women started to have a place in society by having a job during the Industrial Revolution. This change affected women nowadays as well.

The most interesting thing I learned about was how time zones were created. Before we had these, every place had different times which made it very difficult to run a train schedule and prevent collisions on the tracks. So, the solution to this problem? Time zones. Also, while talking about this I learned that Asia is the continent that enjoys the first hour of every new day. I found this very interesting.

One new vocabulary word I learned this unit was interdependence. This describes the dependence of two or more people or things on each other. Becoming a national economy of goods was based on interdependence along with specialization. Railroads allowed us to make this shift and have different places depend on each other for resources. This is why interdependence was significant.

Pullman was a key figure that is significant because of his invention, the Pullman sleeper. This was a sleeper train car that led to a nicer, and more luxurious way of traveling. He also created a town in Pullman, Illinois, where his workers could live. He ended up becoming more like a ruler, which caused the residents to to go on strike because of their conditions. This legacy makes him a key figure of the Industrial Revolution.

Another main idea of the Industrial Revolution were all the new inventions being created. There were many helpful creations that changed the way we were able to work and make things. Some of these include the typewriter, the steam engine drill, the new and improved sleeper car, and time zones. We recognize some of these inventions today because of the significant impact they made on the Industrial Revolution and lives of people in America.

The first main idea of the Industrial Revolution, and probably the biggest is change. So much happened at this point in history. Some examples of this change would be all the shifts going on. Some of these shifts include agricultural to industrial, rural to urban, and farms to factories, and women and children entering the workforce instead of at home. These were big changes that defined much of the industrial revolution.
