Self Reflection Chapter 21

This wasn't an especially interesting chapter. Learning about water frames, steam engines, and the beginnings of the railroad wasn't particularly exciting. A lot of the information we covered seems important, and I'm happy that I now understand it, but we didn't cover anything that I could be enthusiastic about. Digesting information about organizations of industrial workers and different tariffs and labor laws gets to be a bit dull. It's interesting, though, that different inventions and technologies can have such a great impact on the economy. Different industries are constantly changing due to advances in technology. The spinning jenny and steam engine revolutionized industry in the late eighteenth century, and today changes in technology are still constantly altering different industries.
