The first site I came across talks all about the Industrial revolution. It talks about things before the Industrial revolution. For example it talks of Agriculture and even refers to it as the Potato age. Then it begins to outline how people gave lectures on an industrial revolution. Then It starts to talk about the revolution itself. By doing this it gives examples of things like Railroads, steam engines and other thins that just pushed the revolution forward. Then it goes on to tell us about the Engineers. Without these engineers we probably wouldn't have a lot of the things we have today (more than one pair of underwear). All in all it gives great info in a good way too.

Not necessarily a site but it is a well presented online power point the tells about the industrial revolution, where it begins, how it changes life, How it effects the use, and effects of industrialization. In this 12 slide power point presentation you get a vibe of what industrialization has done but also the costs of it as well. I believe this is important because by giving both perspectives you will realize why some people are so for industrialization and why others are so against it. Also like the site before it talks about the Agricultural revolution and refers to that as the Enclosure Movement. I think this is a good site because not only is it credible but it gets right to the information with it making you weed out part that are unneeded.

A well put together site. It has great information broken down into basic groups making it easier to navigate. Also It has pictures of the Industrial revolution so all in all I think this site is so far so good. First it talks about things like manufacturing in the introduction of Industrialization but then it goes on to talk about Britain and how they led the way for the industrial revolution. Good on giving examples of what they use for industry. They used products like coal and iron. Also steam engines, with steam engines they sould do things like pump water into mines and also make the first locomotive. This is a good site and would recommend this one diffidently over the other two.
