INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Starts in Europe particularly in England in eighteen century.It changed the whole of Europe and England 's economy.During this period New machines are invented in England to speed up the spinning of wool and cotton .At first they were powered by water wheels but later steam engines are developed.Iron become cheaper and stronger as Iron making techniques improved.Canals are dug to carry coal from the mines and to transport finished goods.After some times Railways replaced canals .The first railways opens in 1825.Big changes took place in Agriculture .Machines replaced human power,thus now fewer people are to grow food.This forced people to leave the country side to find work in mills and factories.Industrial town grow rapidly.
MASS PRODUCTION- The most unique thing of Industrialization was mass production.Machines can work faster so new techniques of mass production are developed .It drive down the cost of things and improve quality.
In United States the first coast to coast railroad is completed in 1869.This opens the way to rapid industrial expansion .

in 1990 to connect people to knowledge has become an important place to
navigate who and what we know, as well as who we think we are.
The information revolution that began in the 20th century has been driven in most part by a geometric growth in the production of high-tech electronics,
including components of computers, computer peripherals,
semiconductors, integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, video
display equipment, audio equipment.
Rajiv Gandhi, the architect of digital India, is hailed as the 'Father of Information Technology and Telecom Revolution of India'.
1980'S-Computer technology and microchip have revolutionized the world .The internet is re-inventing the way we do business, study,and excess entertainment .Mobile phone make communication very easy even in remote areas.through satellite net work.
