 Industrial Age
(1700's-1930's)
•The Industrial Age is a period of history
encompasses the changes in economic and
social organization that began around 1760
in GREAT BRITAIN and later in other
countries, characterized chiefly by the
replacement of hand tools with power-
driven machines such as the power loom
and steam engine, and by the concentration
of industry in large establishments.
 STEAM ENGINE
• A model of a rotary motion steam
engine based on those built by
James Watt (1736-1819) during the
Industrial Revolution. Harnessing
steam power in a wheel made the
engines much more versatile than
the older vertical piston engines.
 PRINTING PRESS
•A printing press is a device for applying
pressure to an inked surface resting upon
a print medium (such as paper or cloth),
thereby transferring the ink.

•Typically used for texts, the invention

and spread of the printing press was one
of the most influential events in the
second millennium.

writing other than personal handwritten
correspondence. It was widely used by
professional writers, in offices, and for
business correspondence in private homes.
