This revolution made the actual world, the firsts factories and big scale industrial projects were made in this epoch and many devices were invented, for example the vapor boat, trains, and the blast furnaces. However not everything was good, because of this revolution the differences between rich and poor grew exponentially and the people became just workers for the owners of the factories, this event was the explosion of the capitalism and the usage of fossil fuels, of course those things changed the world forever as we can see today.
