In other words, the Industrial Revolution transformed manufacturing and agriculture, transportation, which allowed for an increase in population and the creation of a new urban-based
The pioneering spirit of colonialism and of man's ability to make advances in stages of life primarily assigned to nature -- such as the aforementioned innovations in electricity and magnetism -- were all championed by the Enlightenment and carried over to the field of industry.
