Industrial Revolution

New Inventions

Spinning Jenny:
The Spinning Jenny allowed workers to spin more wool at a given time. It allowed for a massive reduction in the work needed to produce a piece of cloth and allowed for a worker to work eight or more spools at a time. This vastly increased mills productivity and helped further industrialization of the textile industry.

Cotton Gin:
The Cotton Gin allowed farmers to contemplate cotton as their main crop. This was especially important for farmers and slave plantation owner. This tool separated the seeds and fibers more efficiently so it became much easier for farmers to use the fibers to make cotton goods.

Gas lighting:
Gas lighting used coal gas to operate. These were installed as lighting in houses. After its development gas lighting became the main method of street lighting across the United States and Europe.

Typewriter:
The typewriter reduced the time and expense involved in creating documents and created an easier system for communication. It was very important for businesses because it allowed information to be recorded quickly and readable to all people.

In my opinion the most significant invention out of these four was the gas lightings. This is because it was helpful and innovative in multiple easy for the people such as creating a source of light outdoors. Towns became much safer places after gas lamps were installed in the streets, reducing crime rates. Gas lighting became the main system for outside/street lighting all around the world after its development which shows its importance.
