Technological change mandated a change from an agricultural economy. As a subset of farmers moved from farming with horse and plow to tractor they were capable of farming much, much more land. As mechanical looms came into existence manual looms could not compete with the productivity they offered. Both the tractor and the mechanical loom were demonstrations of radically improved efficiency. This radically improved efficiency meant more goods were available for less labor. So people started getting more goods (more than two sets of clothes, wood or carpet flooring etc..).

∙ 10y agoI believe inventors just started creating, innovating, and building, which then sparked the revolution. People were happier because their metal was cheaper, their communication easier, and their guns were easy to take apart and fix. Also, most people believe the year was 1760 when the Industrial Revolution began.
The inventions included rechangeable parts, the steamboat, the cotton gin, and the telegraph.
