-Mechanization

Mechanization is the condition of having a highly technical implementation. In mechanization people use mechanisms to replace human labor, animal labor, and natural elements in order to perform tasks. An example of mechanization is the use of a clock to tell time, a light switch for light, or a nail clipper to clip nails. Mechanization also helps work to be done faster. Mechanization is a huge part of the world in the Industrial Revolution, and without it, the Industrial Revolution wouldn't have been an Industrial Revolution.

-Innovation

Innovation is a new idea, method, or device. Another definition for innovation is the introduction of something new. One of the new innovations during the Industrial revolution was the Bessemer method for making steel. The Bessemer method allowed people to make steel in only 20 minutes. Because of this innovation, steel production became much faster during the Industrial Revolution. Another example of a creative innovation that was built during the industrial revolution would be when Jethro Tull introduced root vegetables. He created a seed drill which would let seeds to be planted deep into the soil, it has been successful because if it wouldnt have been created several seeds that were on top of the ground would have been lost or washed away.

-Units Per Man Hour

Units Per Man Hour measures the completed number of units put in place per hour of work. Man-hour is the amount of work done by a person in an hour. During the Industrial Revolution, there were no laws against child labour or limiting the units per man hour. The working conditions were extremely poor. For example, a 12 year old could be working for 12 hours in a factory and nothing would be done if he lost a limb or dropped from exhaustion.

-Agricultural Revolution

The agricultural revolution was a period of agricultural development between the 18th century and the end of the 19th century, which saw a massive, and rapid increase in agricultural productivity and vast improvements in farm technology. The agricultural revolution contributed to the industrial revolution because in the agricultural revolution, people were replaced by machines to develop agriculture. Eventually this evolved into the industrial revolution, where not only crops were being made by machines, but other objects such as cloth, which weren't being sown anymore, rather being made by machines in factories.

-Factory Work

Factory Work started in the early 1900's when powered machines were used. Factory work only began during the Industrial Revolution. More innovative inventions were being produced faster due to factory work. However, working in a factory was dangerous, and tiring. As I said before, during the Industrial Revolution, there weren't laws preventing child labour, so many children would work in factories for very little or almost no pay. ﻿Children would often work gruelling number of hours and they would be treated badly by supervisors and overseers. Factory work caused a lot of people to move away from the countryside and into the city, where the factories would be. In the cities, the factories have a bad effect on the population, as they cause a lot of pollution.

-City Slum Dwelling

City Slum Dwelling is when factory workers in the industrial revolution had to live in slums in big cities.They didn't have money to pay for them. These were set for them. Factory workers are forced to live in really dirty and crowded slums. People would also get really sick because of all the diseases. "The dwellings of the laboring manufacturers are in narrow streets and lanes, blocked up from light and air, crowded together because every inch of land is of such value that room for light and air cannot be afforded them. "

-Rural to Urban Migration

Rural to Urban migration is when people move from the countryside to cities. This happened a lot during the Industrial Revolution, because in the Industrial Revolution, people switched from working on farms in the countryside to factories in the cities. The amount of factories which opened in the cities made rural to urban migration levels to increase. An example of rural to urban migration would be a normal farming family living in the countryside moving to work in a factory in the city where everyone in the family would work in a factory.

-Pull Factors of the Industrial Cities

Cities have all resources that factories need so its better for them to be there.Urban populations furnished consumers for the products manufactured by these factories. The two movements of urban growth and industrialization fed each other. Many people were attracted to the industrial cities because of this, for exp. unskilled workers were especially drawn to the industrial cities. This fueled migration waves to the industrial cities. Urban development created opportunities for immigration. Immigration favored the urban/industrial development in the cities.

Push Factors of the Agricultural Revolution

The push factors of the Agricultural Revolution were necessary for the Industrial Revolution to take place, because if there weren't any push factors, the Industrial Revolution wouldn't have had to happen. Some of the push factors of the Agricultural Revolution were the fact that heavy labor was required to develop agriculture. However, to work in factories during the Industrial Revolution required little skill. This was one of the push factors of the Agricultural Revolution.
