Inventions In The Workplace
Inventions have completely changed the workplace and the world we live in. Machines replaced people and left them jobless. Would you rather spend less money on a machine or have people who know how to do the job?
Inventions have made the workplace better by costing less, getting things done in half the time and helps people with medical illnesses like coming up with the stethoscope. The stethoscope helped people with things like pneumonia and bronchitis because the doctor can hear that your lungs are congested so you can get medicine and get better. The sewing machine also helped because people wouldn’t have to sew things by hand and it would go faster. The inventions made throughout the 1800’s until today have impacted the world we live in today more than ever.
Machines are good for business and factory owners but not good for the workers. Women and children were ideal workers because they were quick and had nimble fingers. They would have to work 12-16 hour workdays in horrible conditions. By the age of 6, children would be working 14 hours a day in factories suffering from accidents from machines that had no safety devices. They might lose fingers, limbs or even their lives. Their lungs would be destroyed from working in coal mines and having to push coal carts through mines. Women were paid less money than men, for the same work. They would have to work 12 or more hours a day and then return home to crowded, slum tenements to feed and clothe their families. If they were to get sick or injured they would lose their jobs so they couldn’t feed their children and families.
In conclusion, many inventions have helped the workplace become more efficient have changed the workplace and world that we know today and without them we would most likely not be as advanced as it is.
