The first industrial revolution began with textile manufacturing. Cottage industries collapsed as spinning and weaving were mechanized, forcing many workers into factory work regulated by clocks and bells. Children and women often worked long hours in the factories for low wages. The steam engine then helped mechanize other industries and enabled transportation of goods, further transforming the economy and burdening workers. This led to the rise of early labor unions fighting for workers' rights.

First industrial revolution started from textile manufactruing
Making there own clothes, food
Then barter system No clock , rising and setting of sun Less transportation Walk from place to place • Then people work in cottage industry • Merchants buy wool from sheep farmers and then give it to cottage workers to make cloths. • Then foot peddle machine known as spinning wheel was used to tur cotton into yarn. • Then yarn convert into cloth by use of handloom machine. • Merchant pay to cottage workers for their work. Spinning jenny and water frame in 1760.
These two machines used power of falling water/hadruallic energy to
convert cotton into thread.
Then spiining mulls…..one machine can do work of 3000 of hand
spinners. Cotton into thread. spinning
Cottage apinning industry collapsed.
Mechanized power looms ---- use water power than muscle power and make cloth out of thread. Weaving.
These caused shut down of cottage industry.
Workers got angry and started riots and destroying textile machines.
Then agarian economy revolutionised and again put burdern on
workers. By the time the factory cutlture started. This was a new concept in Britain. People have to leave homes to work in factories.
Due to shut down of cottage indsutires and revolution agriculture more
and more workers started working in factories.
Human lives were regulated by clocks and ringing bells in factories.
Majorly Children and unmarried farm girls were working in the factories for long hours 6 days a week Wages of men’s were slightly higher than women and children.
Factories were mainly situated near rivers. Because of hydraulic power.
Then steam engine came into play.
The setting up factories near river was a challenge.
Then arises a need for some other fuel. So, the power of coal to run machines was discovered. But the major problem was coal was grounded deep under the surface and before the sufficient extraction it got filled with water available under the surface. This problem was tried to resolved by using machines drgged by horses to pull out water from coal sorrindings. Steam engine helped in transportation.
