Introduction to the Second Industrial Revolution.

     In the early 1800's life started to gradually began to shift from a simplistic enviorment to a more technological era. Water and steam where most popular for power during the early 1800's. Goods and items were made in peoples homes, and were taken out through horseback to sell to towns and communities.
    Around the time the late 1800's hit, things began to take a rapid fast change. Technology began to maximize the way or rather the speed things here done. Electric power started taking over steam and water power very rapidly. People began to work in factories rather then working from inside their homes. The faster ways of transport moved goods to people alot faster than it had ever had before.
