The steam engine was used in factories, mines and even used for transportation. After the 1820s it helped people travel faster in less time and that meant that factories could be built anywhere and not only in waterways.
I improved Thomas's engine and created a steam engine that could be used in a varietyof industries.

The factory system
This is so tiring, I liked it better when most goods were produced at home.
Before the industrial Revolution, most goods wereproduced at home. But, after industrialization, workers toiled infactories, mines, and other locations. and rather than working at their ownpace, workers now had to work accordingto strict rules and schedules.
