It was the wide-scale transition of many human cultures from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement which supported an increasingly large population. The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, improved efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power and the development of machine tools. It also included the change from wood and other bio-fuels to coal. It began in Great Britain and within a few decades had spread to Western Europe and the United States. The Industrial Revolution marks a major turning point in history almost every aspect of daily life was influenced in some way. In particular, average income and population began to exhibit unprecedented sustained growth. Those were the mass sweeping changes during the Neolithic and Industrial revolution time period.
