Impact of New Technologies on the Industrial Revolution: Economic and Social Transformations

This unit examines the transformative effects of new technologies introduced during the Industrial Revolution, particularly their role in the diffusion of products and ideas and the redistribution of political power. Key innovations such as the Spinning Jenny, steam engines, and the factory system led to urbanization, mass production, and faster transportation methods like railroads and steam boats. While these developments brought increased wealth and improved living standards for many, they also contributed to worker mistreatment, crime, and poor urban conditions.
