- The main mode of transportation was the horse and the carriage (“Kalesa” in the Philippines).
This was used by Rizal in his travels. Even after the advent of railway, remote areas still depended on the horse for local transport.
1780, France
- A pedometer is a device, usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motionof the person's hips. The modern all-mechanical pedometer was introduced later to the Americans by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson obtained a unit from France, but it is not known if he modified the design, or introduced it to the US as is. Although this pedometer is widely attributed to Mr. Jefferson, proof is difficult to obtain as he never applied for any patents on any of his inventions. In 1780, Abraham-Louis Perrelet created the first pedometer, measuring the steps and distance while walking.
Rizal was no ordinary tourist wandering aimlessly in cities he visited. With a Baedeker guidebook in hand and a pedometer in his pocket, he would walk to a city’s historic and cultural sites, sample the local fare and, presumably, ask locals about their customs.
- Textile manufacturing is a major industry. It is based in the conversion of three types of fibre into yarn, then fabric, then textiles. These are then fabricated into clothes or other artifacts. The industrial revolution changed the nature of work and society. Opinion varies as to the exact date, but it is estimated that the First Industrial Revolution took place between 1750 and 1850, and the second phase or Second Industrial Revolution between 1860 and 1900.
On his way to Paris, Rizal stopped at Barcelona at the house of his compatriot, Dr. Maximo Viola, where he remained for about a week. During this short stay, he
