📖 1. Technological Innovations

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Spinning Jenny: A multi-spindle spinning frame invented by James Hargreaves in 1764, allowing a worker to spin multiple threads simultaneously, significantly increasing yarn production.

  • Power Loom: A mechanized loom developed by Edmund Cartwright in 1785 that automated weaving, boosting textile manufacturing efficiency.

  • Steam Engine: A device that converts steam into mechanical energy; improved by James Watt in the 1770s, it revolutionized transportation and factory power sources.

  • Bessemer Process: A steel-making technique patented in 1856 by Henry Bessemer, which rapidly produced large quantities of steel at lower costs, enabling the construction of bridges, ships, and railways.

  • Railroads: Networks of tracks and locomotives, with George Stephenson's 1825 locomotive marking the beginning of widespread rail transport, transforming trade and mobility.

  • Canals: Artificial waterways constructed in the late 18th century to facilitate the efficient movement of heavy goods before the advent of railroads.
