During the 18th and 19th centuries - the period from 1700 to 1899 - lots of things were invented that made it easier to make things and get work done. One invention led to another, so that there were lots of important changes in a short period of time. These inventions didn't make things a little different, they made them a lot different. Most products people in the industrialized nations use today are turned out swiftly by the process of mass production, by people (and sometimes, robots) working on assembly lines using power-driven machines. People of ancient and medieval times had no such products. They had to spend long, tedious hours of hand labor even on simple objects. The energy, or power, they employed in work came almost wholly from their own and animals' muscles. The Industrial Revolution is the name given the movement in which machines changed people's way of life as well as their methods of manufacture.
