This was because new factories and machines were being made. Allowing more managers and employees to manage and operate on these machines. This changed our society because more people worked in factories instead of farms, less "hands on" "man made" work was needed. These jobs also increased the overall wages and earnings. ]]> 2022-09-14 14:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorrizzuto/v3nemhlk2xw8hung/wish/2296465409 taylorrizzuto https://padlet.com/taylorrizzuto/v3nemhlk2xw8hung/wish/2296479159 In 1821, the Lowell Mills was created.

The loom used water power to speed up the weaving process. The Power Loom was one of many labor-saving inventions. It utilized power to weave cotton thread into cloth, greatly speeding textile production.

This changed our society because it allowed people to cook and eat their food more effectively and efficiently. ]]> 2022-09-16 14:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorrizzuto/v3nemhlk2xw8hung/wish/2300079207
