Activity No.2

Online research on the technologies in the 19th Century. Provide the advantages/disadvantages on the
use of technologies in the 19th Century.

- The 19th century was the age of machine tools—tools that made tools and machines that made
parts for other machines, including interchangeable parts. Inventions including the telegraph,
typewriter, and the telephone led to faster and wider means of communication. The following list (by no
means exhaustive) chronicles some of the most important innovations that took shape in the 19th
Century. Important inventions such as railways and steamships boosted the economic growth in 19th
century. Colonization stimulated new investments and improvements in transport. Faster railways
lighter wagons and larger ships helped to move food more cheaply and quickly from far away farms to
final markets. The drawback of technologies way back 19 th century is it took time and more energy to
use because it is not yet convenient unlike technologies today- in 21st century.

Self-evaluation: Answer the following questions below

1. How did the opening of the Philippines to world commerce and trade affect the country and
its people?

- The opening of Manila (1834) and other regions of the Philippines to foreign trade not only
brought economic success to the country, but also a tremendous change in the lives of
Filipinos. As the people flourished, so did their level of living.

2. Define Imperialism in your own words.

- Imperialism is a system in which a rich and powerful country controls other countries, or a
desire for control over other countries.

Narrative Analysis:

The Industrial Revolution

On the little island of Great Britain, the narrative of the Industrial Revolution starts. By the early
18th century, most of the trees had been utilized to build houses and ships, as well as for cooking and
heating. James Watt (1736-1819), a Scottish instrument maker, invented an engine in 1776 that used
steam generated by burning coal to drive a piston aided by a partial vacuum. Its first purpose was to
more swiftly and efficiently pump water out of coal mines, allowing for more efficient extraction of the
natural resource, but Watt's engine worked well enough that it was put to other applications, and he got
wealthy.

The outset of the 19th century, British colonies in North America were producing lots of cotton,
using machines to spin the cotton thread on spindles and to weave it into cloth on looms. Early in the
19th century the British also invented steam locomotives and steamships, which revolutionized travel. In
1851 they held the first world’s fair, at which they exhibited telegraphs, sewing machines, revolvers,
reaping machines, and steam hammers to demonstrate they that were the world’s leading
manufacturer of machinery. By this time the characteristics of industrial society — smoke rising from
factories, bigger cities and denser populations, railroads — could be seen in many places in Britain.

Post Test: With your knowledge in this chapter, answer the following questions below. Write your
answer on the given box.
1. Create a narrative analysis on the changes occurred in the Philippines based on social, political,
economic and cultural in the 19th century

Many events occurred in the Philippines during the nineteenth century. These events
shaped the Philippines into what it is today. The Philippines' economic situation
throughout the nineteenth century gave rise to Haciendas or the "cash-crop economy."
Where a big portion of the land would be used for cash crops. Sugar, tobacco, abaka,
and coffee are among income crops. Because the Philippines is open to global
commerce and has an abundance of these items, it has become a significant exporter of
these products and is well-known in other areas of the world. As a result of these
events, the economy transitioned from a barter system to a moneyed economy. The
nineteenth century gave birth to the middle class, the lands became the principal source
of income due to cash crops and the ability to purchase constructions, and it gave rise to
technical links across the Philippines' divided islands. Railroads, steam ships, and
advances in communication helped to connect the Philippines' diverse regions. Literacy
was also viewed as a weapon by the Filipinos, namely a tool for decolonization.

2. Industrial Revolution was a boom of technology; explain its impact in the world of
imperialism/colonialism.

The industrial revolution was the driving factor behind this New Imperialism, since it not
only produced the necessity for Europe to expand, but also the capacity to effectively
capture and financially sustain so many colonies elsewhere. The industrial revolution
made it necessary for Europe to take over colonies all over the world.
