The study of the Industrial Revolution, which began in 1750 and ended in the 1900s, impacts our understanding of such sudden, rapid and significant change it had to the Australian and British societies. The Industrial Revolution was another of those extraordinary jumps forward in the story of civilization. The new ideas of technology and mechanism transformed the everyday lives of those who lived throughout the industrial revolution. The technological improvements in agricultural production majorly impacted lives of societies in the late 1700’s. Both the Industrial Revolution and the Information Technology Revolution have had huge impacts on society. This essay will summarise the why the study of the Industrial Revolution impacted our understanding

Britain’s greatest cities have been greatly impacted as the available work force increased from 7.5 million jobs in 1750 to 40 million jobs in 1901. This was a huge re-development in time as this was at the height of the Industrial Revolution this implies that there was a wide gap between the rich and the poor. Some examples are that because of the large boom of population, doubled food production, major availability for work force and better, new ideas in farming and harvesting. New ideas in farming technology and mechanism contributed to increased agricultural output. Some effects to this were limited wastage, quicker planting and harvesting. Farmers that were unable to afford the new systems made their way to the city. This then lead to a major population boom, the period of time before the 1790s it went from just over 290,000 people to the period of time after the 1700s which became more than over 2 million …show more content…
Some similarities are that both the Industrial Revolution and Information Technology Revolution had long working hours, a high rate of unemployment and advances in new technology and mechanism. The Industrial Revolution helps us to better understand the Information Technology Revolution we are experiencing today because they both have similar causes and effects. They have impacted the way we invest our money in business opportunities, manage, assume and organise the risks of our businesses or enterprises and the way we controlled our natural resources, whether it be coal, iron, rivers or sea ports. The cities of Britain were rapidly changing, extraordinarily, and due to the availability of fresh food, prices went down, and living standards increased. There is a great deal of evidence to demonstrate that we are in the middle of an information technology revolution. In the last 60 years there have been huge developments in information technology. Since the invention of the television the most important technology advancement was the invention of the internet. It has drastically changed the way we send and receive information. Although there are many similarities, there is also a couple of differences, such as, big production companies taking advantage of workers. Apple are one of the many companies that make many promises but always tend to break them, such as their
