Technological Advancements Flying Shuttle (John Kay) 1720’s, increased efficiency of weaving Demand for textiles (woven cloth) 1700’s increases Steam powered Power Loom (1785) invented, made production 8x faster
10
“Necessity Is the Mother of Invention” Power Loom leads to increased demand for cotton Cotton gin is invented by Eli Whitney, separates cotton faster Demand for Iron increases as the demand for the power loom increases
11
Technological advancements As more steam- powered machines were built, factories needed more coal to create this steam Mining methods improved to meet the demand for more coal
12
“Necessity Is the Mother of Invention” As more steam- powered machines were built, factories needed more coal to create this steam Mining methods improved to meet the demand for more coal The process of inventing never ends One invention inevitably leads to improvements upon it and to more inventions

Increase in Transportation Increased production Search for more markets and raw materials Better and faster means of transportation Prior to the Industrial Revolution, people used ships with sails and horse-drawn carriages Steamboat (1807) – Increased speed of water transportation Locomotive (1825) Fast land transportation of people and goods
18
Investment in Agriculture As demand for cotton increased and people moved to cities, governments invested in agricultural research by establishing agricultural schools, societies, and experimental stations Led to new innovation in pesticides, breeding, food preservation, and farming techniques, allowed fewer farms to produce more food
19
Growth of Factories By 1800, steam engines were replacing water wheels as sources of power for factories, forcing owners to relocate near raw materials Cities grew around the factories built near central England’s coal and iron mines Manchester, Liverpool
20
Urbanization With the growth of factories in cities and the decline of agriculture people began searching for work within cities Cities such as London and Manchester soon became over populated with working class citizens Urban populations increased by over 400%
21
