The Second Industrial Revolution

The Second Industrial revolution was all about efficiency. Despite the fact that I find the old definition of efficiency during that time period, I believe that some aspects of the efficient tactics to have ben a profound improvement in the general society. The Second Industrial Revolution introduced an entirely new way of life; electricity was brought into the picture. Before electricity, people had to work harder and longer on tasks. But, with the help of the new source of energy, workers were able to get things done in a faster manner. Electricity was not only helpful, but it was cheap as well. Everyone had access to it and everyone benefited from it.

Not only did this new energy source help workers, but it was a great deal of help in everyday life at home. Electricity provided light at home and on the streets. Because of the street lights, crime rate went down a substantial amount. It also caused a decrease in air pollution, because of the lack of gases and fuels being exposed to the open air. Notwithstanding the negative outcome of the use of efficiency, the ideas that went into it were helpful in numerous ways; electricity is still used to this day.
