1. Transportation and Communication had a great impact on the Industrial Revolution. First of all, with the steam engine, you cuold move from place to place, and you could send items faster. Also, you didn't have to travel somewhere to send someone a message, and ideas were sent away faster.

2. Women and children also changed their lifestyles in the industrial revolution. Mainly, they started to get employed in jobs. They were given jobs becase the factory owners thought it was to expensive to offer skilled workers a job. Women and children didn't expect much, so tehy were hired.

3. Methods of production changed the revolution when the assembly line was made. With this, they could hire someone to learn one thing. Also, they can mass produce items and make more money.

4. The increase if machinery usage affected workers in that, it made jobs easier for them. However, it was dangerous for the children to clean the machines.

5. The textile industry brought forth many inventions. One of the inventions was the cotten gin, which was made to produce cotton for clothing. Also, people started to realize that they could sell the clothes to make money.

I feel that video games don't have much of an effect on the lives of people. As stated in the article, there are a lot of people who play games like these, and don't even think about killing people. Also, other games don't play any influence on people's lives. For instance, if you play farmville on facebook, you most likely don't farm. So this means that all games, cannot make people act in their life. Also, there isn't very much evidence that suport the fact that games cause people to act differently.

One invention that I do not think that I can live without during the Industrial Revolution is the plow. So much of our food outcome is from farms. Without the use of the plow, it would take a lot more people and time to produce more food. Without the plow, we would have a higher rate of people who do not have food. For these reasons, I feel as if the plow is the most important invention of the Industrial Revolution.

I would say that the most important invention is the plow because it took days of working time, and transformed it into a few hours. Also, fewer people were needed to produce goods, and work the machines. Finally, it also produced more goods because it was able to produce them faster.

4-11-12 Aggricultural Revolution

The revolution in agriculture quickly pushed into a revolution in industry. It turned from an agricultural society, to an industrial society. Factories were expanded. Industry has improved the factories by mass producing items faster. Now that that happened, people no longer needed to make things by hand. Now, one person could control one part of the factory. Apprentinceship was stopped, and training time was cut in half. The pay was no longer based on quanity, but instead was payed by the hour. Before that, men worked the most, but with the factories, women and children started to work. They did this so they could pay less because kids expect less than men.
