New Inventions Made During the Industrail Revoultion

The Industrial Revolution changed the world because it changed the way of doing things. New things were invented. One of these inventions was the Spinning Jenny. The Spinning Jenny was a spinning wheel. The Industrial Revolution was a great change for everyone. Later on, men invented things that produced smoke, such as: factories, trains, and subways. These things pollute the air. The Industrial Revolution polluted the air we breathe and also how people worked. It changed how people worked because people had to work by hand before but now they could use factories and spinning wheels (Spinning Jennies) to help them. In 1768, Richard Arkwright invented the spinning frame. The spinning frame could produce stronger threads for yarns. Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin and a pioneer in the mass production of cotton. The cotton gin removed the cotton seeds easily and quickly so that the cotton could be processed into cloth far more rapidly. It was more productive and more convenient for the people that used cotton. The flying shuttle was created by John Kay. The flying shuttle made making clothes easier back in the industrial revolution. All of these inventions made work easier and more things could be done during a shorter amount of time.
