Textile in the Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution, in this logic, has been a worldwide occurrence, at least insofar as it has occurred in all those parts of the world, of which there are few exceptions, where the control of Western civilization has been felt. Industrialization occurred first in Britain, and its effects spread only gradually to continental Europe and North America. Equally clearly, the Industrial Revolution that eventually transformed these parts of the Western world surpassed in magnitude the achievements of Britain, and the process was carried further to change radically the socioeconomic life of the Far East, Africa, Latin America, and Australasia. The reasons for this succession of events are complex, but they were implicit in the earlier account of the buildup toward rapid industrialization. Partly through good fortune and partly through conscious effort, Britain by the early 18th century came to possess the combination of social needs and social resources that provided the necessary preconditions of commercially successful innovation and a social system capable of sustaining and institutionalizing the processes of rapid technological change once they had started. Therefore be concerned, in the first place, with events in Britain, although in discussing later phases of the period it will be necessary to trace the way in which British technical achievements were diffused and superseded in other parts of the Western world.

Third Phase of the Industrial Revolution

Third Phase of the Industrial Revolution:
We can localize this phase in 1920. In these phase the aviation and the astronautic received a great impact, as the same way started to work in the employ of the atomic energy, the electronic and the cybernetic. In the biology appeared the antibiotics, they developed different ways of communication. (Radio, television, cinema, telephonic, informatics) and the ways of transport. It was called as (programmed machines).

Second Phase of the Industrial Revoltion

Second Phase of the industrial revolution:
We know that one of the first invention of the second phase in the industrial revolution was the train, that was moved by a steam machine but its speed was of 6km per hour , that mean that its had less force and less speed than a horse but later in 1835 they constructed new trains with more force and speed. And this trains help the growth of the industry.In the second phase in 1803 , they did the first model of a boat moved by steam, that was designed by Fulton, but the government of France did not help him , with money to constructed more boats so he moved to United states and in there they give him support . And after this moment the you were able to see steam boats, and this helps a lot our industry.

First Phase of the Industrial Revolution

Bases of the Industrial Revolution:
What we know as Industrial Revolution. Transformed the humanity and accelerates the rhythm of human history. Its apparition wasn’t immediately. It appeared slowly, in consequence of an old process made on occidental Europe. This process was composed by a diversity of innovations necessities.

Tecnic Invents:
In Tecnic invents the most important events were.

-The watch makers. Their processes of production were guided by Newton’s mathematics. To made their clocks and pendulums.

-The Optic Artifacts makers. Their innovative solutions needed more technology to improve on designing and producing their optics artifacts. This made machine makers to improve to in designing and producing high precision machines to build optic artifacts.

England’s World Leadership:
The most important event in here was the high number of immigrants wanting to live in England because of its fast progress. This helped to the textile industries to improve in fast production of innovative products to make easier, cheaper, and faster the production of clothing. At the end of the XVII Century, the Sea Navigation made British clothing products, a big part of England’s sea trading.

The Triumph Of The Machines:

The work mecanization.
This camed from the experience of the Textile makers tha gave solutions to increase the quantity of production and reduce costs.

Siderurgy and minery:
-The major change in the metal industries during the era of the Industrial Revolution was the replacement of organic fuels based on wood with fossil fuel based on coal. Much of this happened somewhat before the Industrial Revolution, based on innovations by Sir Clement Clerke and others from 1678, using coal reverberatory furnaces known as cupolas. These were operated by the flames, which contained carbon monoxide, playing on the ore and reducing the oxide to metal. This has the advantage that impurities (such as sulphur) in the coal do not migrate into the metal.

-Coal mining in Britain, particularly in South Wales started early. Before the steam engine, pits were often shallow bell pits following a seam of coal along the surface, which were abandoned as the coal was extracted. In other cases, if the geology was favourable, the coal was mined by means of an adit or drift mine driven into the side of a hill. Shaft mining was done in some areas, but the limiting factor was the problem of removing water. It could be done by hauling buckets of water up the shaft or to a sough (a tunnel driven into a hill to drain a mine). In either case, the water had to be discharged into a stream or ditch at a level where it could flow away by gravity.

Agricultural Revolution:

The Industrial Revolution helped the so-called agricultural revolution in which it took into account 2 aspects: the transformation of agricultural structures and new techniques of cultivation, which helped to focus and stimulate investment property.

Activity #3

Activity one:Alexander Graham Bell (3 March 1847 – 2 August 1922)He was scientist, inventor and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone.In 1876, he creates his "electrical speech machine," which we now call a telephone.He creates the telephone in the United States, settling in Boston, before beginning his career as an inventor.Since his death in 1922, the telecommunication industry has undergone an amazing revolution. Today, non-hearing people are able to use a special display telephone to communicate. Fiber optics are improving the quality and speed of data transmission. Actually, your ability to access this information relies upon telecommunications technology. Bell's "electrical speech machine" paved the way for the Information Superhighway.

Activity two:
DEVELOP
10 questions
-What television did you had as you where child?
-How was your house at technology?
-Did you have TV in your room as you where child?
-Did you have computer?
-Did you have someone that cleaned your room?
-Did you played all days?
-Did you have good technology at your room?
-Did you have a radio in your house?
-Does your father had a car?
ü-Does your father had a motorcycle?

Activity #2

History
One day there was a Young lady that lives with her father. They where a poor family, so the girl was studying in a public school. The father has lost his work now, he was very bad. He like don’t have money to school took her out of the school but now he took her to work in each thing that she could work. One day she was working and the father told to her to continue working at there. At the next year the girl was working at there but a man passed next to her but he stopped and asked to her why is she working. The man told to her to take him to his house. He asked to the father why she was working and he explained but the man told to him to put the girl back in the school and that he will give a job to him. Now they have a good life and she now is a professional.

Activity #1

1) When and where did the Industrial Revolution begin?The industrial revolution started in England around 1733

2) Why did England forbid factory workers to leave the country?Because England wanted to keeps ir industrialization a secret.

3) How did Samuel Slater contribute to the Industrial Revolution in America?He reconstructed a cotton-spinning machine from memory , and then he did a factory.

4) Name one of the bad consequences of the Industrial Revolution.Factories owners , needing cheap, unskilled labor, profited greatly by using children’s andwomen’s to work.
