Why all of a sudden did the 19th, 20th, and 21st century see a technology boom?

Answer 1

The technology boom of the Industrial Revolution started because of the invention of the steam engine, railways, and mass production in factories.

It did not really happen all of a sudden. There were earlier kinds of engines, earlier improvements in transport, etc., but when the above-mentioned stage was reached in the 19th century, factory owners realized that products could be made much more cheaply, made from raw materials brought quickly from around the world, and then sold to markets all over the world.

Big money was now to be made from this level of technology and so more and more research was put into accelerating the research into technology.

Answer 3

There was a very interesting article in the New York Times (sometime in the past year) about how people in the British Isles starting overcoming the Malthusian trap back in the late 18th/early 19th centuries. They did this with a decrease in interpersonal violence and by saving money and other resources to pass onto the next generation. I have heard from another source (wish I could remember guy's name) that this also had to do with people having fewer children, which makes a lot of sense to me! I searched for this article on www.nytimes.com but could not find it. If you need to know the answer for this for a homework assignment, you should look yourself! :-)

Answer 4

Technology follows basic science. The work that Newton, Pasteur, Mendel and others did in earlier centuries was built upon and exploited. First, of course, came Gutenberg and the printing press which allowed technical knowledge to spread like wildfire.
Some of the events can be tied to military applications but were basically inevitable once the basic science was accomplished.
