How did technological development during the industry revolution enable people to build factories almost anywhere?
The steam engine is one of the inventions that revolutionized production. Up until then what little "mass production" or factory production work was done was limited to areas where there was running water. Running water drove various types of mills, crushers and threshers; this means that these types of industry had to be located on permanent waterways. The advent of steam engines allowed for factories to be located where ever there was sufficient water and fuel available. To take this a step further, once steam locomotives were developed then the placement of factories was only regulated by the distance to the nearest rail line. Many factories had their own rail sidings in order to bring in raw materials and ship out finished goods. The rail line further expanded the markets for these finished products.
