- - - - Cottage industries were used previously in the 18th century and sometimes also used in some LDCs today, these industries depended on intensive human labor, before the Industrial Revolution
        
        Although it never was too expensive, the production speed was slow and inefficient.
        
        Cottage industries were usually contracted by other families and were only able to spread their influence locally
        
        Usually these cottage industries were run by groups or by individual families. All of the production was done by human labor usually in a workshop or at a house.
        
        Some countries still have families make a living off of these hand-woven rugs in other countries. Not just that, but wealthier people may spend more money buying a hand-woven rug instead of a machined one as it could be a lot more high-quality.
      - Factories replaced a lot of these cottage industries since although the initial capital investment was very high, it led to the unit cost (cost per unit) being very low after the initial investment, new machinery was so large but unbelievably faster.
        
        The typical building you might find this in would probably be a factory and have a large initial investment.
        
        The speed of production is very fast, the efficiency is very good too, and the products can be distributed globally as well as locally.
        
        The scale of production was very large, and the work could be split into dozens of thousands of workers, the method of producing these goods was also mostly through machines.
        
        Factories originally considered 3 main factors
        
        Transportation routes such as roads, rivers, and canals.
        
        Minerals or agricultural products need for producing the manufactured goods
        
        Energy resources needed to provide power such as rivers, coal deposits, power plants, etc.
    - - Diffusion
        
        First spread through France and the Netherlands
        
        Reached almost all parts of the world.
        
        Started in great britain in the 1700s
      - Industrialization
        
        Production of factories
        
        Factories began to cluster in cities in order to search for a large workforce, these population centers also provided a market for those factories to sell their goods in.
        
        Machinery replaced animals and human power. Society simply needed less people to work on farms. These displaced farm workers then eventually moved to the city in search of work in factories.
        
        Increased urbanization drastically
        
        Led to a lot more deaths too, as a result of the excess waste being produced from machines, sewage systems, cemeteries, etc weren't being managed as well, air pollution levels were deadly, smog doubled the death rate, in order to protect public health.
        
        Greatly promoted the middle class, industries needed a lot of factory managers, accountants, lawyers, clerks, secretaries, etc. The demand for workers who were literate increased, and so did the demand for each teacher and professor.
        
        Landowners did maintain their control of the land, but they lost quite a bit of their influence in society due to the rising business oriented class.
      - Expansion of cities
        
        Vertically
        
        The development or elevators, stronger, and more affordable steel, as well as techniques to construct stronger foundations allowed for a lot taller buildings, and these taller buildings made city populations a lot more dense, public health measures became increasingly more important.
        
        Horizontally
        
        Cities had improvements in intra-urban transportation, like cars, trains, trucks, and cities were allowed to spread out farther than the downtown core. People could live far from where they work and still drive there easily. At the same time, producers could sell their goods the same way.
