New Technologies
Technology sparked industrial and economic growth
Henry Bessemer patented the process for making steel from iron
Steel became so important that industrialized countries measured their success in steel output
Alfred Nobel earned enough money from his invention of dynamite to fund today’s Nobel prizes
Electricity replaced steam as the dominant energy source
Michael Faraday created the first simple electric motor as well as the first dynamo (simple electric generator)
Kaboom!!!
Dynamo
New Technologies
In the 1870s, Thomas Edison made the first electric light bulb
Soon, electricity lit entire cities, the pace of city life quickened, and factories continued to operate after dark
Interchangeable parts and the assembly line made production faster and cheaper
“You light up my life…”
Thomas Alva Edison
"Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration." - Thomas Alva Edison,
Transportation Improvements Steamships replaced sailing ships Railroads connected cities, seaports, and
industrial centers Invention of the internal combustion engine
sparked the automobile age In the early 1900s, Henry Ford developed an
assembly line to produce cars, making the United States a leader in the automobile industry
The assembly line made the cost of goods cheaper.
Transportation Improvements
Automobile Assembly Line – then and now
Installed by human labor Installed by robots
Orville and Wilbur Wright
Air age began when Orville and Wilbur Wright flew their plane for a few seconds in 1904 at Kitty Hawk, N.C.
Communication Guglielmo Marconi’s radio became the
cornerstone of today’s global communication network

Capital Investment New technologies needed investments of large amounts of
money To get the money, owners sold stock (shares of companies)
to investors, growing businesses into giant corporations By the late 1800s, what we call “big business” came to
dominate various industries Corporations formed cartels (a combination of business
firms to control world markets and fix prices) to control markets
