It brought upon many new inventions and ways of life that greatly impacted the way society has progressed over time. It resulted in population growth, increased public education, abolishment of slavery in Europe, and improvement in public health.]]> 2020-12-07 04:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992827261 highmd23 https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992832614 The Industrial Revolution originally began in England. Inventions like the cotton gin and the spinning jenny helped to produce goods more efficiently, thus boosting industrialization. Eventually, the Industrial Revolution reached the United States when Samuel Slater, an English-American Industrialist, brought British textile technology to America.]]> 2020-12-07 04:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992832614 highmd23 https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992839760 The inventions of the Industrial Revolution impacted people's lives and societal norms in both positive and negative ways. To start, new inventions increased productivity which made work easier for the workers. The invention of the steam engine made it easier for goods to be transported. Because of these two things, goods became cheaper. The new factory jobs also brought in people from rural areas seeking for jobs. ]]> 2020-12-07 04:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992839760 highmd23 https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992846880 Although there were many positives that the new inventions of the Industrial Revolution brought, there were also many negatives. The new factories produced pollution in the water, air, and soil. On top of that, there were poor working conditions. For women and children especially, their labor was exploited. Because of their smaller figures and features, they were able to do jobs that men weren't able to do.]]> 2020-12-07 04:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992846880 highmd23 https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992854822 2020-12-07 05:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992854822 highmd23 https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992855504 2020-12-07 05:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992855504 highmd23 https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992856576 One of the most negative effects of the Industrial Revolution was it's impact on the environment. The primary sources of fuel for most of the factories were coal and fossil fuels. The burning of coal to power these factories produced fumes which polluted the air, soil, and water. Since the negative effects of burning fossil fuels weren't known back then, we unfortunately are only just now taking steps to help the environment. ]]> 2020-12-07 05:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992856576 highmd23 https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992859958 2020-12-07 05:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992859958 highmd23 https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992863596 2020-12-07 05:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/highmd23/q4sz6cc5hzoi6cmf/wish/992863596
