In the words of Robert E. Lucas, Jr., “For the first time in history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth. Nothing remotely like this economic behaviour has happened before.” Be it the discovery of the printing press, or the textile making machines, the industrial revolution, spanning over a century, did change the socio-economic conditions of the masses in a drastic fashion. The era also gave us the precious steam engine and the there was a sudden development in the field of roads and railways. The invention of the Differential Engine by Charles Babbage gave a new direction to the world of computing! Then the invention of the radio and the telegraph changed the way the world communicated. In other words, it will not be incorrect to say that the industrial revolution was one of the events that taught man to do more than just farming and domesticating of animals.
