Technology helped speed up the industry expansion by helping in transportation. Transportation and new ways of getting things places faster made industrializing much easier and quicker. ”In Europe and North America, rail lines connected inland cities and seaports.”(244) This helped the people to have more supplies of food and water and such. This made it so that the cities had more food to feed the growing population. It would also help to get resources inland quicker, which sped up everything. Also, the “rail lines connected mining regions and industrial centers.”(244) This helped to speed up the industrialization by connecting cities and key resource points together, so the factories would always have enough supplies to keep themselves running.
