Industrial Revolution, in modern history, the process of transition from an


agrarian and artisanal economy to an economy dominated by and
the manufacture of machines. Since the time of Toynbee, the term has been
applied widely as a process of economic transformation rather than as a period of
time in a particular setting. This explains why some regions, like China and did not
begin their first industrial revolutions until the 20th century, others, like the
United States and Western Europe, have to undergo the "second" industrial
revolutions at the end of the 19th century.

Inventions of the Industrial Revolution:


Newcomen’s Steam Engine:

Newcomen’s steam engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in England in 1712.


The steam engine pumped water using a vacuum created by condensed steam. The
engine was an important invention because it drained water out of deep mines,
thus making it vital to the mining industry.

Spinning Jenny:

James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny in Stanhill, England in 1764. The
spinning jenny allowed workers to produce multiple spools of thread at the same
time. By turning a simple wheel on the machine, the operator could spin eight
spindles of thread at once, instead of just one. As the technology advanced, the
machine was able to spin between 80 and 120 spindles.

Problems that Industrial revolution resolve:

The Industrial Revolution had many positive effects. Among those was an increase
in wealth, the production of goods, and the standard of living. People had access to
healthier diets, better housing, and cheaper goods. In addition, education
increased during the Industrial Revolution.
