Sewing Machine - Elias Howe

Summary

Industrial Revolution has been amongst the most significant, most renowned events of all times, which has been a strong part and parcel of the company as we speak. Industrial revolution is a constant process, where recurring changes and constant growth in the area of globalization, production, manufacturing and even technology has prevailed and become a concrete part and parcel of this otherwise constantly growing phenomenon. Taking toll over sometime during the 1750-1850, the phenomenon rose and boiled in the United Kingdom, raising the standards of living of ordinary, mediocre people, which gradually spread to Western Europe, North America, and Japan and ultimately coiled all areas of the world. Spreading over and widening with divided phases, the Industrial Revolution imbibed within itself the social, economic, political and technological progress and development whose effects and outcomes are felt in today's modern world of constant escalation and rapid expansion which surrounds us humans. For this paper, our major focus shall be upon Industrial Revolution and the associated gifts that we, as human beings, have derived from the available resources and at the same time, put them to our utmost use.
