The Impact of Science and

Technology on Society during the


Industrial Revolution
( A. D 1730 - A.D 1950 in the
Modern World )
Objectives:
• Describe the impact of science and
technology on society during the Industrial
Revolution

• Recognize and appreciate the works of


the diffrerent proponents of the Industial
Revolution period
Modern Science
• Albert Einstein - theory of relativity
• Radioactive isotopes - use as tracers in
complicated chemical and biochemical reactions
and have also found application in geologic
dating

• Introduction of Microscope by Janseen team

• Charles Darwin - natural selection ( Origin


of Species
Modern Science
• Gregor Mendel - theory of Genetics;
Mendelian Principles of Heredity.

• Louis Pasteur - father of microbiology


( Pasteurization )

• Hugo de Vries - interpreted in terms of


mutations the result in a genetically
distinct species
Modern Science
• The development of Biochemistry and most
important biological processes. DNA
(Deoxyribonucleic Acid ) - generic code

• Modern medicine - profited the explosion of


knowledge in biology and biochemistry.
(penicillin, insulin, and a vast array of other drugs
of pacemakers for weak hearts and of
implantations of artificial or donated organs)
Modern Science
• Astronomy - larger telescopes assisted the discovery that
the sun is a rather ordinary star in a huge collection of stars ,
Milky Way, and galaxies.

• Electromagnetic radiation - remote objects; billion of


light years from the earth that has been carried out all
wavelenghts.

• Electonics industry - advanced of complex device, such


as computer that have filled an entire that can be carried in
an attache case.
• Watt steam engine - made of
iron and fueled primarily of coal,
widely used in Great Britain during
the Industial Revolution.
Important Technological Developments

• Metallurgy - a major change in


the metal industries during the era
of the Industrial Revolution was
the replacement of wood and
other bio- fuels with coal

• James Watt and Matthew


Boulon: steam engine; which
incorporated a series of radical
improvements.
Important Technological Developments

• Machine Tools : created a demand


for metal parts used in machinery; led
to the developments of several
machine tools for cutting metal parts.

• Chemicals : large scale


production of chemicals such as
sulphuric acid by the lead
chamber process was invented by
John Roebuck.
Important Technological Developments

• Cement - Joseph Aspdin, patented a


chemical process for making Portland
cement which was impotant device in the
building trades.

• Gas Lightning - William Murdoch; large


scale gasification of coal in furnaces, the
purification of gas (removal of sulphur,
ammonia, and heavy hydrocarbons).
Important Technological Developments

• Glass Making - new


method in producing
glass, known as the
cylinder process It
was used by Chance
Brothers to create
sheet glass.
Important Technological Developments
• Paper Machine: a machine for
making a continuous sheet of
paper on a loop of wire fabric was
patented in 1798 by Nicholas Louis
Robert.

• Agriculture - improved
agricultural productivity freed up
workers to work in other sectors of
the economy
Important Technological Developments

• Transportation - at the beginning of the


industrial revolution, inland transport was
navigable rivers and roads, with coastal vessels
employed to move heavy goods by sea. Wagons
ways were used for conveying coal to rivers for
further shipment.

• Food and Nutrition: food supply had been


increasing and prices falling before the industrial
Revolution due to better agricultural practices.
Important Technological Developments
• Housing: living conditions during the
industrial revolution varied from
splendour for factory owners to
squalor for workers.

• Clothing and consumer goods:


consumers benefited from falling
prices for clothing and household
articles
DO YOU KNOW?
Hubble Space Telescope ( HST)

Orbiting observatory that was


launched into orbit by the space
shuttle discovery in 1990. The
telescope was named after American
astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, it is
the biggest space observatory
that weights 11 tones and 13.1
m long and 4.3 m across.
Rocket

It was the first vehicle


to leave the earth. It is
propelled upward by
hot exhaust gases
streaming from
nozzles at the tail. The
world's most powerful
rocket is the Soviet
Energya.
