=Impacts of Industrialization and Development:= Industrialization and Economic Development

A brief history before industrialization in the world:
Before indurstrialization settled into the world, the world was very basic. Granted there was a variation of agriculture methods practiced, but there was no real technology present until the 19th century. Most civilizations relied on the following to surivive: The Industrial Revolution set into place in the world around the mid 1800's. Some major alterations of the revoultion include, but are not limited to: Social Conditions before, during the start of, and after the first impacts of Industrialization[1].
 * basic, (if any), irrigation systems
 * poor sanitation
 * forms of breeding and domesticating animals
 * hand-producing materials suchs as silk
 * substinence farming, (meaning only farming enough crops to support your family and those close to you; intentions were not for profit)
 * hunting to provide food
 * major changes in the working class
 * wealth increased
 * opportunities for many women and children to work
 * many nations started forming national identities

How the world further developed over time:
After many new advances in technology and methods of survival, the world was altered drastically in very short periods of time.

Agriculture:
Many agricultural practices improved in conservation of time and effectiveness. New "breeds" (if you will) of plants were introduced through science and through generations of developing new species of plants, mainly to extinguish noticable flaws and to produce the most effective breed possible. //examples:// //DNA Splicing, GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms)// As well as improving the capabilities of the crops, harvesting methods were greatly enhanced through technological advances[2].

Harvesting and Cultivating crops:
Many new additions of harvesting were added when the first fertilizers were introduced. These fertilizers were very basic, but did stimulate many crop's growth patterns, allotting faster and more efficient harvests. Pesticides were also developed, but were not advanced enough to extinguish all forms of the pests, which allowed the remaining ones to form immunities to said pesticides. This required newer and newer pesticides to be created, soon leading to a variety of pesticides for different species of pests and or crops.

Technologies:
The seed drill was invented in the earlier years of the 19th century, and drastically helped with conserving time, space, and productivity over all. The seed drill allowed farmers to "cut open" the soil which made planting seeds much more easier. Or Eli Whitney who patented the cotton gin, a machine that revolutionized the production of cotton by speeding up the process of removing seeds from cotton. By the mid-19th century, cotton had become America's leading export.

Specialization of Places:
As economies develop, areas become more specialized and distinct in their forms of manufacturing and prodocution. This can be either primary, seconday, or and other of the sectors of the economy. This allows a competitive edge (in the form of lower production costs, cheaper labor, cheaper materials, etc.) for locations to another [3].
