00:05

by the industrial revolution a revolution to find by the

00:08

onset of new manufacturing processes and therefore histories dullest revolution

00:14

ever here's our question all of the following our innovations

00:17

of the industrial revolution Except what and hear potential answers

00:21

Gottstein engine railroad telegrapher Compass what All right well let's

00:25

take it from the top We steam engine was basically

00:27

the poster child of the era developed an improved upon

00:30

through seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the steam it and ultimately

01:14

well you might have been too late leaving us with

01:16

our answer D the compass When we think of the

01:18

industrial revolution we think of mechanical power steam and factories

01:22

none of which have anything to do with a compass

01:24

This innovations credited his chinese back in the eleventh century

01:28

And it's rudimentary magnetic design was about as far from

01:30
