In class we went over some of the most important components of the industrial revolution. We read through text that explained the importance of many parts of the revolution. The essential question we had was what was revolutionary about the industrial revolution.
Looking deeper I think that the Technology and Transportation that was invented during this time is the most important. First off all, lots of technology was created during this era. For one, Anesthesia was created in that time period and without it we would not have a very effective pain killer that is used in dentistry and also in hospitals.The photograph was also invented during the Industrial Revolution as well as the steam engine,food canning, spinning jenny and also a way to mine iron. New transportation was also devolved. Boats, trains and cars are the most recognized and well known transportation that came out of the revolution. The steam engine was also used to revolutionize train engines and there are even some trains today that still use steam for power.The Diesel engine was also invented to try to improve the original car engine.
