Revolusi Industri

Sampai beberapa ratus tahun yang lalu hanya ada sedikit industri nyata.
Kebanyakan orang tinggal di pedesaan dan bertani. Mereka bisa hidup dari makanan
yang mereka hasilkan sendiri. Mereka menanam gandum mereka sendiri, memanggang
roti mereka sendiri, dan membuat pakaian dan perabotan mereka sendiri. Beberapa
mesin yang ada, seperti roda pemintal, sederhana dan dikerjakan dengan tangan.

Kemudian, pada abad kedelapan belas, terjadi perubahan besar. Abraham


Darby menemukan cara melebur besi dengan menggunakan kokas. Lebih banyak zat
besi tersedia. Pemintal dan penenun menemukan mesin yang sangat meningkatkan
hasil. Salah satu penemu ini, Richard Arkwright, menempatkan beberapa mesinnya di
sebuah gedung besar dan mempekerjakan beberapa orang untuk mengerjakannya.
Demikianlah ia menemukan sistem kerja pabrik.

James Watt mengembangkan mesin uap praktis yang menyediakan 'sumber


tenaga untuk menggerakkan mesin-mesin baru di pabrik-pabrik. Orang-orang mulai
meninggalkan tanah dan bekerja di kota-kota besar dan kecil. Sebuah revolusi dalam
cara orang hidup dan bekerja telah dimulai. Ini adalah Revolusi Industri.
