In this video Heimler explains the new technology that made the Industrial Revolution possible. There are two distinct phases of the Industrial Revolution and they are largely distinguished by the kinds of technology that drove them.

The First Industrial Revolution was driven by steam power (James Watt’s steam engine was at the heart of it). Steam engines created the occasion for factories to be built away from running water and therefore their numbers skyrocketed. Additionally, the main good characterizing the first Industrial Revolution was textiles.

The Second Industrial Revolution majored in gas power (oil), steel, and communications. At the heart of the communication revolution was Samuel Morse’s telegraph and Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone.

There were significant consequences to all this new technology, not least of which was migration. With the advent of steamships and locomotives, people moved from their homes and settled in distant lands. And with new communication technology it made such a move easier.
