 INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 1.0
Dating back around 1760, the first Industrial Revolution was the transition to a new
manufacturing process using water and steam. It was hugely beneficial in terms of
manufacturing a larger number of various goods and creating a better standard of living for
some. The Textile industry in particular was transformed by industrialization as was
transportation.
Fuel sources like steam and coal made machine use more feasible, and the idea of
manufacturing with machines allowed faster and easier production, and they made all kinds of
new innovations and technologies possible as well.
THE EXAMPLE OF INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTIONS OF 1.0 STEAM
ENGINE
A long time ago, the only way people could travel was by foot or horse.
This made traveling difficult. However, after the invention of the steam
engine, people could travel much faster.
The steam engine is a type of machine that uses steam to generate
power. James Watt was a Scottish inventor who improved older
models of the steam engine, making them easier for people to use.

(born January 19, 1736, Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland—died August 25,
1819, Heathfield Hall, near Birmingham, Warwick, England), Scottish instrument
maker and inventor whose steam engine contributed substantially to the 
Industrial Revolution. Watt was also known for patenting the double-acting
engine and an early steam locomotive. He was elected fellow of the Royal Society
