The world once moved at the speed of muscle.
Then came machines —
and nothing was ever the same.
The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century Britain.
Why there?
Coal, colonies, capital — and curiosity.
Spinning jennies, power looms, steam engines —
factories replaced workshops.
Smoke replaced silence.
Rural life gave way to cities.
Families moved to Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow.
Children worked 14-hour shifts.
Air thick with soot.
Water black with waste.
But production soared.
Textiles flooded markets.
Steel shaped skylines.
Railroads stitched nations together.
I opened 우리카지노 while reading a worker’s journal.
He wrote of machines that didn’t sleep.
Now we scroll through systems that never blink.
Education shifted.
So did class.
A new working class demanded rights,
while factory owners became tycoons.
Marx and Engels watched —
and warned.
Inventions reshaped everything.
Telegraphs sent messages faster than horsemen.
Vaccines saved lives.
Typewriters tapped out revolutions.
Through 카지노사이트, I posted a photo of a soot-covered chimney,
captioned: “Progress — with a shadow.”
Women entered the workforce.
Unions formed.
Laws changed.
And soon, the revolution went global.
Japan industrialized.
Germany innovated.
America expanded.
The Industrial Revolution wasn’t just about machines.
It was about momentum.
It taught us that invention could reshape civilization —
but also that humanity must catch up.
