Before this time, many families would do manufacturing work from their homes. From this, families were able to work together and form very strong bonds with each other. Since there was not advanced machinery before the Revolution, many families would use hand-held like tools or basic machines that would allow them to still get the job done (History.com). However, the tools and machines that they used were not as productive as of the ones created during the Revolution. In fact, many of the new inventions involved in the success of the Industrial Revolution were technological (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica). One of the most significant inventions that aided in the great success of the Industrial Revolution was the invention of the steam engine. People were able to ditch their hand-held and primitive tools for the more reliable and perpetually renewable steam engine. The invention of the steam engine helped drive the Industrial Revolution, which created new jobs for people and drew them to urban centers (History.com). The effects the new engine had on employment was immediate, starting in Great Britain and later spreading throughout the world. Because England had an abundant supply of natural resources of coal that could fuel steam engines, which drove the creation of mills/factories that turned out more goods. Western society, which had been agrarian for quite some time, began to focus on cities as laborers who had worked in cottage industries or farms moved there in search of the new jobs created during the Industrial Revolution, due largely to the steam engines. In addition to the jobs created for adults, the invention of the steam engine and boom of the industrial revolution caused another change in working habits causing young children to begin working. Since the repetitive tasks that were done in the mills were considered easy, they could be paid
