Mechanization: This is when machines are used instead of humans.This made things faster and sometimes safer since human's didn't have to do the most dangerous work, and are specialized and really fast in specific jobs.This was used during the Industrial Revolution, because the rich people, who owned a lot of companies, wanted more and more money, so they used machines instead of humans because the machines didn't need a salary and they worked much faster. One of the greatest inventions of the Industrial Revolution was the Wright Brother's plane. It has inspired so many more great inventions such as, the helicopter, and commercial planes. It is really great because it also saves lives, because often people would get sick if they traveled on boats for too long. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/371959/mechanization http://www.talktalk.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0006178.html

Innovation: It is when you renew something that is seen as very old. Often machines were used instead of humans as innovation. Farms were often producing more livestock because of the new machines. The machines included tractors, plowers, and many more, This often made farmers relax more, and they would have to work less. Also, during the Industrial Revolution the rich people owning the companies used innovation to increase the productivity. Often inventions like the steam trains improved the quality of life for the citizens, because they could travel all around America. http://industrialrevolution.sea.ca/innovations.html http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/ENLIGHT/INDUSTRY.HTM
Units per Man Hour: It is the average amount of work completed by one worker in one hour, or how many products he could produce in one hour. In the Industrial Revolution, the rich people wanted to get as many products done as possible. Because of that reason, Mechanization became bigger, and machines were used more often than people, because products were produced much faster with machines than with humans. Also the Units per Man Hour was very important because the company owners used this to see how much they could produce using different methods. For example, 5 men using a method could produce ten cups, but when using another method, they produce 2 cups. This told the employers what method to use, which helped them produce more products. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_line http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-hour http://www.answers.com/topic/man-hour

Social Change: Agricultural Revolution:This was a time where farming changed and got better ways to farm. For a very long time the farming was the same, long hard work. During this time machines were made that did many things for farmers, plows and tractors got invented and became more advanced, which helped revolutionize the farming industry. The tractor made it easier to harvest the land, and transport animals or livestock from one place to another. These newly invented machines made life easier for everyone; the rich made more money, and the workers didn’t have to work as hard to get paid! http://inventors.about.com/od/indrevolution/a/AgriculturalRev.htm

Factory Work:New factories were created by the day, so they needed more and more workers, and often for 6-7 days a week, trying to invent new machines. The factories took everybody and put them to work, even children! This also caused men, who were good at their jobs, to lose them to machines.But this often wasn't good for the workers, because the kids wouldn’t get an education, and couldn’t develop as they would grow up.Also the people who worked in factory's didn't get paid much and died much younger since there was so much smoke and pollution. This was mainly during the Industrial Revolution because the rich people didn’t really care who worked for they, they just wanted the money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_life_during_the_industrial_revolution http://www.galbithink.org/fw.htm

City Slum Dwelling:In the 1800's lots of people lived in slums at night and in the from dawn to dusk they would work long hard hours at a cotton factory or another factory.Because so many people came to the big cities, there wasn’t enough space for everyone. Also, the rich people had nice and fancy houses with a big garden, so they took up a lot of space. During the Industrial Revolution, so many people were working for very little money, so that they needed a place to live, and so they had little space, and lived in the slums, or the rural areas of the town. It was often dirty, and there was a lot of disease, and you could easy get sick. Also, often people wanted more and more, so there were fights and they often didn’t agree because they always wanted a better life. Also the roads were very dirty. Often wastes were just thrown on the street, and the streets were very thin, so there wouldn’t be a lot of light, and it would often seem dark. http://www.cottontimes.co.uk/housingo.htm

Economic Migration: Rural to Urban Migration: Around this time thousands of people moved from farm land to a big city in hope to find a good job and have a better life. Millions of those dreams were crushed. The farmers got attracted because there were so many jobs in the big cities, because they were booming, and many new factories were created. Also, the farms weren't making as much money anymore, because more people wanted to buy products from the big companies, not the small farms. Often the farmers didn't get good jobs because they weren't very professional in their jobs they selected. Often they lived in the slums. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization http://www.st-dunstans.somerset.sch.uk/pdf/Coursework/Geog%20Coursework/GCSE%20REVISION%202007/3-Rural-Urban%20Migration%20in%20LEDCs.pdf
Pull Factors of the Industrial Cities: The big cities were getting bigger and more important by the day. It often attracted people from the outside because there were so many jobs. Also there was a possibility of making lots of money, and you wouldn't have to work on the farm for the whole time. As a farmer you ate what you farmed, wore what you made, drank what you collected, and got some money from selling your products. Also, there were better health cares and education in the big, booming cities.
Push factors of the Agricultural Revolution: As ideas developed, new inventions were made, so humans didn't have to work as much, especially on the farm. At the beginning, there were many farmers, but machines started to replace people, especially farmers, because they would work much faster. If you are a farmer, there is nothing to protect you from famine or droughts because there were none boundaries or protections, and often you had to travel very far to get recourses, and it wasn't easy without cars or fast moving vehicles.
