During the 18th century people were growing tired of the unexplained events that made the world how it is today. Before the 1830's people recognized no such person a scientist who studied natural philosophy. Naturally philosophy became a rather popular topic in the science field. Basically natural philosophy is the study of nature and the vast universe before the study of science came into play. Due to natural philosophy being a favored topic it helped further the growth of the Industrial Revolution by creating new age technology. Important technological innovations occurred after 1870, since a significantly higher proportion of inventors after this period possessed technical training in science and engineering. A famous invention that changed the way we communicate was the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. The attitude of the people towards the Industrial Revolution were mixed feelings such as they were excited for the new inventions but did not know what to expect from this. The cause of these inventions being made caused female and child labor to sky rocket due to the high demands of the products. Due to some inventions such as wool makers or mechanized looms up roared protests of these machines which brought upon the Luddites Movement. The Luddites Movement were British textile artisans who who protested often by destroying mechanized looms in which made them feel they were being left out of work. Good or bad science helped us further understand our world and partially our universe, without science we as people can not advance in technology and as a species.
