er: The information revolution is a current, and still evolving system of advancements to technology, particularly of the information/communication sector. Back in the early 19th century, a mathematician named Charles Babbage designed plans for a theoretical analytic engine. It was for making computations of complex mathematical problems. He never finished building this machine. It was nearly 100 years later, that Alan Turing would explain many of the fundamental essentials to coding and computing, and in the 1940's, the first computers were built, for military, government, and secret service purposes. These computers, were enormous and weighed as much as 30 tons. 1946's ENIAC, which is widely accepted as the world's first actual computer,

Boats and trains were the fastest methods of transportation, however, most just walked from place to place. Horses were a great advantage to people who owned them.

The role of women was rapidly expanding in society, and women began to become telephone operators, nurses, teachers and more. In the early 20th century, the the telephone began to make it possible to communicate with people all over. Europe still had imperial holdings around the world, and local governments in the United States had more power than the federal at many cases. Most people were still ruled by royalty. People died young, as the average lifespan was in the 40's, hardly reaching middle aged. Women had many children, in hopes maybe 2 would reach adulthood. Vaccines were not widespread, so people often died from diseases we'd think are mild today, such as fever. If you were diabetic, before the 1920s, it was a brutal, drawn-out, and almost certain death. Asthma could also very likely kill you as well. Children were also not widely in schooling, as most would become a part of the family
