 * Pace of Change:**

- Mechanization is the use of machines instead of human or animal labor. When things like factories weren't invented, people had to work harder and longer to get what they got within a few minutes with mechanization. It stops animals and humans from working long, hard hours. Humans operate the machine and give the instructions, but they are not doing the actual work. One of the inventions used to replace human is computers, as it does calculating and research for us, but we have to type in what we want it to do. Another example is the spin jenny, which is controlled by a human but the machine weaves the cotton.

-Innovation Innovation is renewing something that already exists. It is not producing something entirely new on its own. It is changing something that is outside of peoples comfort zone or norm and requires new ways of thinking. So it is making things different in new ways. For example, you can innovate the schools curriculum, by changing the method, like ASD just recently has. Innovation in the industrial revolution was the new idea of machines working instead of humans.

-Units Per Man Hour Units per man hour is the measure of the amount of work that a man has done per hour. It is working out how much has been done in the hour. An example would be if a teacher had completed marking 5 tests in the hour, the unit per man hour would be 5 tests per hour. Units per man hour was improved after mechanization was created, as men worked less per hour, due to machines doing work quicker and for them. The picture below is an assembly line which was one of the methods that improved the units per man hour.

 * Social Change:**

-Agricultural Revolution Agricultural revolution was the change of the way farmers produced food. The population was increasing, and so people had to find a way to produce more food. It started off with land being wasted due to strips of land being used, with dead land in between. When the crops needed re planting, there was no way to plant more for that time. It was then improved so that land would be split into four, and as the seasons rotated, so did the crops, onto each different land every time they had to leave their old land fallow. Then gradually, new machines were invented for better and more efficient harvesting. Due to all this there were less farmers needed and people were no longer afraid of not enough food being produced.

-Factory Work Factory work is the work in factories. There are different things produced in different factories. One was wool. During the industrial revolution, women found that, since their only income was from spinning wool, that factories were taking away their source of money. Work in factories was much more efficient and it created better materials. It was hard work for everyone. For children, factory work was a form of hard schooling.

-City Slum Dwelling City slum dwelling is people who live in areas that are run down. It is normally referred to places that were once fine, but then a lot of people moved on to better places and left the others for the worst. During the industrial revolution, the cities got overcrowded and so many people had to share facilities and so lots of places got run down. Also the pay was very bad so people who worked in factories and as farmers could not afford large houses for their families and so there were more city slum dwellers. The homes would consist of more people than there was room for, streets would share toilets and water, and they would have open sewers.

 * Economic Migration:**

-Rural to Urban Migration Rural to Urban migration is people who once lived in farms and at the country side, then moved to the cities.It was due to machinery taking over most of their jobs. There were lots during the Industrial revolution as cities progressed. People moved for jobs since there were more in the city with better income and also because of all the new mechanization. This leads to the overpopulation which caused city slums, little food, etc.

-Pull Factors of the Industrial Cities Pull factors are the reasons as to why you have to live in industrial cities. It is what pulls you to live there. In the industrial revolution, you would want to live there as there is mechanization which makes work easier and the food growth is improved.You would have to live there if you needed work and had a family to tend to. If you needed housing but could not afford your own house then you would have to share housing with others in the city.

-Push factors of the Agricultural Revolution Push factors of the agricultural revolution are reasons that pushed you away from working in agriculture. Because of the improvement in farming and the new knowledge of machinery, during the industrial revolution, farmers were put out of their job. Because of this they had to move to cities and work in factories which was harsh with very little pay.
