The Second Industrial Revolution: Opening the Door to the Modern Era

The first industrial revolution triggered the engine and began to push humanity into a new era of technological, economic, political and social progress. The Second Industrial Revolution further promoted social development in these fields. Through the Bessemer system, scientific discoveries such as increased power usage, synthetic dyes, transportation systems, communications have brought about innovation in steel production. Although not known to many people, these innovations are the key to promoting society to modern society.

Modern civilization experienced three major social and economic changes, the industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was built around steam and transformed the modern society by redefining transport and manufacturing processes. According to Thomas Edison, who promised to "reorganize the lives of the world" by providing efficient energy and modern communication, the emergence of electricity has caused a second revolution . Later, electricity opened the way for our third (and present) digital revolution to release civilization from fossil fuels and to provide technology to more than 4 billion people worldwide. The common point of connecting all the big revolution is that by widely defined technology advances society by redefining the way we participate and promoting economic development by improving the quality of life is.

The great invention and innovation of the Second Industrial Revolution was part of our modern life. They were still promoters of the economy until World War II. In the postwar era there were several major innovations such as computers, semiconductors, fiber optic networks, the Internet, mobile phones, gas turbines (jet engines), and green revolution. Commercial aviation existed before the Second World War, but became a major industry after the war. The introduction of new products and new services greatly expanded international trade. Improved steam engine design and widespread use of inexpensive steel means that slow sailboats are replaced by faster boats. The chemical industry is also at the forefront. Britain does not invest much in technology research rather than catching up with America and Germany
