 * Pace of Change:**

-Mechanization Mechanization is the use of machines to reduce the amount of manual labour or the use of animals. Until the 1700s there were few machines to help people do their jobs. The 1700s saw a long series of inventions, mostly in the textile industry, that brought about a machine age and the Industrial Revolution. An example of some of the first inventions in the textile industry were those made by John Kay who created the flying shuttle, James Hargreaves who created the spinning jenny, and Richard Arkwright who created the water frame. [] -Innovation Innovation is the introduction of something new such as a new idea, method, or device. An invention becomes an innovation when that invention improves some product, process, or service for the public. An example of innovation is the invention of the water frame made by Richard Arkwright. [] -Units Per Man Hour The units per man hour is the amount of items that can be created in an hour. Before the industrial revolution this number was not very high. This number increased with the invention of the assembly line. The assembly line broke down the jobs to small tasks. Ransom E. Olds created the assembly line in 1901 to keep up with the increasing demand for horseless carriages. The assembly line enabled things such as cars to be produced more quickly. []


 * Social Change:**

-Agricultural Revolution The agricultural revolution was when vast improvements were made to farming. It happened between the 18th century and the end of the 19th century. Before the agricultural revolution there weren’t very many improvements to farming. Some examples of inventions that were created or improved during the agricultural revolution were the plow and moldboard, seed drills, sickles, reapers, and harvesters. [] -Factory Work Factory work during the industrial revolution greatly affected the lives of citizens in Britain. Children had to do factory work as a form of hard schooling. Men were being pressured to do factory work and woman made contributions to their families by doing factory work. Factory work was dangerous work because of all the machinery. A lot of children worked in factories such as cotton factories. [] -City Slum Dwelling The city slum dwelling was the poor people that lived in cities such as London in the time of the industrial revolution. London in the time of the industrial revolution was not very nice. The streets were covered with horse manure from the horse-drawn carriages and until the 19th century people were drinking water from the Thames in the same places where the sewage poured into the river. Rich and poor alike were thrown into the crowded streets of London. http://www.fidnet.com/~dap1955/dickens/dickens_london.html


 * Economic Migration:**

-Rural to Urban Migration During the time of the industrial revolution people moved away from the countrysides to the city where there is a lot of work. People also moved to different countries in search of a better life and some were transported as punishment. However, the main reason for people migrating was to find better work and so sometimes moved from small villages to large industrial cities. http://www.schoolshistory.org.uk/IndustrialRevolution/migration.htm -Pull Factors of the Industrial Cities Some pull factors of the industrial cities were to seek work. People were pulled to the cities by promises of working in the new factories. An example is Manchester which pulled people to work in the factories because of their stronghold of the textile industry. http://library.thinkquest.org/05aug/01419/citygrowthtext.html -Push factors of the Agricultural Revolution Some of the push factors of the Agricultural Revolution were the lack of jobs. New developments in agricultural technology decreased the amount of available land and the number of jobs. Because of this people moved to cities to work in the factories. The machines took away the jobs of people so that they have nothing to do. Many people were pulled to the cities. http://library.thinkquest.org/05aug/01419/citygrowthtext.html
