What 2 things do you have today due to the steam engine?
The electric grid (power supply) is one thing mainly dependent on steam engines (turbines), more than 90% of the worlds electric generators use steam turbines to generate electricity (nuclear power plants generate steam to power the turbines). Because of that, anything that uses electricity came into being, such that, we could claim we have computers as a result of the industrial technology created, because of the steam engine.
Was the steam engine part of the renaissance?
No. The steam engine came along during the industrial revolution and drove most of the mills and their machinery. It was the primary driving force behind industrialization.

What is a Steam Engine and how has it developed through the ages? A steam engine is a device that converts the potential energy that exists as pressure in steam, and converts that to mechanical force. Early examples were the steam locomotive trains, and steamships that relied on these steam engines for movement. The Industrial Revolution came about primarily because of the steam engine. The thirty seconds or so required to develop pressure made steam less favoured for automobiles, which are generally powered by internal combustion engines. The first steam device was invented by Hero of Alexandria, a Greek, before 300BC, but never utilized as anything other than a toy. While designs had been created by various people in the meanwhile, the first practical steam engine was patented by James Watt, a Scottish inventor, in 1769. Steam engines are of various types but most are reciprocal piston or turbine devices. The strength of the steam engine for modern purposes is in its ability to convert raw heat into mechanical work. Unlike the internal combustion engine, the steam engine is not particular about the source of heat. Also, modern steam engines burn fuel cleanly and efficiently, with relatively little pollution.
What new technologies was part of the revolution in transportation?
During the industial revolution, in Europe, the steam engine (type of engine) was invented and as a product of this, so was the steam engine (type on train). Then in 1807, a man used the steam engine in combination with a boat to make the first steam boat. Later on, in the nineteen twenties, the car and airplance were invented as products of the invention of the internal combustion engine. Finally, with the advancement of cars came the bus and trolley.
What was the impact on the society on the introduction of watt's steam engine b?
Firstly, the responce given to the steam engine was not good. The industries had not started using it as soon as it was improved by James watt. But gradually the invention and its benefits came into news and the industrialists started buying the steam engines for their factories
