From the beginning of the 18th to the 19th century there where some changes in the Industrial Revolution period of time that were made in agriculture, technology, transport, and manufacturing that had an effect on the cultural conditions starting in the United Kingdom then spreading throughout North America, Europe and eventually the world.
Industrial Revolution and
Steam power
The steam engine was
one of the most efficient and important technologies of the Industrial
Revolution. It was used in many industrial especially for mining, the first
engines that pumped water from deep workings. Some of the mills had run
successfully with water power, but by using a steam power engine a factory
could be located not only near water but anywhere. Water power varied with the
seasons, and was not available all the times due to dry spells and freezing
water. Steam didn’t had replace water
power in importance in Britain until after the Industrial Revolution. From an Englishman
Thomas, atmospheric engine, of 1712, through
developments by Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer James Watt, steam engine then began to be used in many industrial settings.
Industrial revolution also changed the way that artists
worked. Most of them were using some tools and paints that were now all of them
mass-produced at factories and considerably cheaper. Many of them incorporated
the industrial revolution into some of their work.
