This was a series of economic and technological changes in the Western World 18th - 20th centuries, which brought about the extensive mechanization of production systems.
This period of transformation is often referred to as the Industrial Revolution. It began in Great Britain in the late 18th century and spread to other countries in Europe and North America over the following decades. The Industrial Revolution saw the development of new technologies, such as the steam engine, which allowed for the mass production of goods and the mechanization of previously manual tasks. This led to significant changes in the economy, society, and culture of Western countries, as well as the emergence of new industries and the growth of urban centers. The Industrial Revolution had a lasting impact on the world and laid the foundations for the modern industrialized society we live in today.
