Industrial Revolution

Today, class, I am going to be speaking to you about the Industrial Revolution. The term 'industrial revolution' refers to the technological, social, economic, and cultural changes that occurred in England in the late eighteenth century. This change eventually spread around the world, creating many big cities based upon the ideals of manufacturing and capitalism. Prior to the industrial Revolution, the production and harvesting of products was completed through manual labor. The industrial Revolution replaced this manpower with machine power.
