    The Industrial Revolution had widespread socio-economic impacts. New machines replaced handwork and greatly increased production. This led to changes in manufacturing, transportation, technology, and more. It affected living conditions across Europe, North America, and elsewhere. Notable developments included new iron and textile manufacturing techniques, the invention of steam engines, and expanding transportation networks like canals, roads, and railways. The Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851 in London showcased new technologies and was a landmark event held in one of the earliest modern structures built with iron and glass.

    Impact of Industrial Revolution

    • Invention of machines and instruments for manufacturing goods


    and articles - by 18th century
    • Machines slowly replaced handwork
    • Major changes appeared in manufacturing, mining, agriculture,
    transport and technology.
    • Effected socio-economic conditions mainly in U.K. and other areas
    of Europe, U.S.A. and rest of the world.
    • It started mainly with: iron making, machine based manufacturing,
    transport & trade expansion by building of canals, improved roads
    & railways, development of tools, etc.
    • Machine products were cheap, attractive and produced in large
    numbers in less time; which resulted in increase in production,
    trade and marketing.
    • Publication of newspapers and books on commercial basis for
    transfer of knowledge.
    Impact of Industrial Revolution

    – Metallurgy – inventions in glass panes in exteriors &
    making pig iron, lead, interiors. Eg: Crystal Palace in

    - This increased commercial, recreational, cultural and
    communication areas.
    - This brought changes in construction and architectural design.
    - New building materials like R.C.C., structural steel allowed
    freedom in planning, openness and other possibilities.
