1. Industrial Revolution

2. Industrial Revolution
A change in the ways people earned money and made goods that began in England around the mid-1800s. People went from making goods in their own homes with simple tools to making them in large-scale factories with complicated machinery. As a result, many rural regions became more urban as cities grew rapidly around the new industrial activity

3. Putting- Out System Domestication system
The process of producing a product from raw material to finished product in the single homes in England.
Example: land—sheep—wool—thread—sweater –sell to individuals or a buyer of large quantities.

4. Enclosure movement
The process of taking over small land and fencing it off.
As wool became more valuable, people began to close off land.
As a result of the fencing, people were landless and forced to move to urban centers in search of employment.

5. Changes in Textiles
A growing demand for cotton lead to several technological advances in the Textile Industry.
The flying shuttle allowed weaves to work much faster.
The spinning jenny spun many threads at one time, as opposed to just one.

6. Factories
Because the new machines were so large shacks were built to house them.
Workers would come to the shacks.
These buildings became known as Factories.

7. Changes in Transportation

8. The invention of the steam locomotive made it so goods could not travel quicker across land and not only on water.
The first Railroad was in 1830 from Liverpool to Manchester.

9. Result

10. Second Wave of Technology, late 1800s
Henry Bessemer purified ore and created steel, which is lighter and more durable.
By late 1800s electricity was the major source of power.
1800: First Battery
1870s: Thomas Edison created the light bulb

11. The first telegraph was in 1844 between Baltimore and Washington D.C.
1876: first Bell phones as seen on the left.

12. Nickolaus Otto invented the gas powered internal combustion engine, which lead to the creation of automobiles.
1886 Karl Benz received the first patent for a three wheel auto.
1887 Gottlieb Daimler built a four wheel auto.

14. Changes in how you work New methods of production included:
assembly line
interchangeable parts
These new methods made it so more goods were made in a shorter amount of time and jobs became specialized and monotonous.

15. Effects The Industrial Revolution resulted in:
the creation of tenements
child labor
growth of cities
a new middle class of inventors,
artisans, and merchants
an urban working class

16. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
“It was on a dreary night of November, that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs”

17. Frankenstein
First published in 1817, the most popular edition is the 1831 one.
The story is about a doctor that builds a human with new scientific technology. When the creature comes to life the doctor is horrified and shuns him.
Frankenstein ends up killing the doctor’s brother and wife as revenge.

18. The story was written in response to the fear that the Industrial Revolution would go too far.
Why would people have such fears?
Activity: outline your own story of Frankenstein. What about technology is scary today?
Your outline doesn’t have to be about building a human. Some examples: robots taking over, genetically building babies etc…
