Thanks to the Second Industrial Revolution. We got the third shift. No need to knock off when it got too dark to work in those dingy factories. We can get killed in industrial accidents all night long now.
If the First Industrial Revolution was powered by steam and the Second Industrial Revolution was powered by the light bulb, is the Third Industrial Revolution being powered by the microprocessor?
@@00EvanG I am glad to hear it. "Brave New World" and "1984" are so important to have been read right now. Texas is very influential to other schools for their textbook and reading material choices.
The first Industrial Revolution said that it was ramped up around 1800. It started in Britain ran on steam, trains, and factories and led more to discoveries a lot by the scientist inventors, Volta, Faraday, and Maxwell. While the second Industrial Revolution resulted from the industrialization of electricity and mass manufactoring . It happened around 1900, started in the United States, and ran on electricityran, cars, and communication technologies. As well as it will become more new in terms of raw materials, foods, goods, and other technologies that are invented.
Ford policing his employees private lives isn't that unusual. Companies still do it today, such as when the try to police how their employees behave on social media. Not that that's a good thing, merely pointing out that the attitude persists. And of course companies continue to do everything they can to disempower unions.

Why did Hank make Greenfield Village sound so strange? I went there a lot as a kid and it’s pretty much just a pioneer town but on steroids. It’s super awesome honestly and I still enjoy going there. The Henry Ford Museum is also super fun (but I am a history nerd)
Because Greenfield Village is a white wash of the society it attempts to portray. Ford and most of his type at the time were racist anti-semites that thought they had a direct connection to the mind of God and would break the knee caps of anyone that disagreed with them. There is a lot of hidden history in the Detroit area that is not made public.
@@broomemike1 Ford hired hundreds of thugs to take axe handles and baseball bat to break the knee caps of striking union men after the courts upheld their right to strike for better working hours and conditions.
Ive never been to greenfield village but have been to the rouge plant tour and the henry ford museum. The museum is where u buy the tickets and where the tours start for the rouge plant and greenfield village
Huxley's Brave New World made that absolutely clear when it adopts the "After Ford" years and lopping the top off the cross to denote the "T" of the Model T.
That caught my eye too. I was wondering if Chick fil a started paying $20 - $30/hr starting wage but demanded that all it's employees kept a clean house with beige walls and attended Christian church Sunday mornings, how many people would happily take that bargain?
However, university training was required for doctors prior to the industrial revolution in Europe. The hippocratic oath has been around for millennia. Many of shop owners were regulated by guilds. Mass production simply out profited the guilds and drove them out of business. This is why you have a difficult time purchasing craftsmanship furniture today.
Maybe it's because I'm English but I find the way Hank says, 'they were able to drive around just like rich Britsh and German dudes', highly amusing! 😂
Electricity became the lifeblood of emerging CORPORATIONS. The problem we have with cars' emission now is having a parallel problem regarding horse poop in the past. The Racal vehicles in my place now looks like the inverted quadri-cycle with a roofing. But the emergence of an automobile has changed the landscape of WORK both on the side of the owners and of the workers....
"Basically, the First Industrial Revolution ramped up around 1800. It started in Britain, ran on steam, trains, and factories, and led to lots of scientific discoveries by individual researchers such as Volta, Faraday, and Maxwell. The Second Industrial Revolution resulted from the industrialization of electricity and mass manufacturing. It happened around 1900, started in the United States and ran on electricity, cars, and communication technologies." According to him. So the New Revolution was formerly known as Revolution, Great American Revolution and it led to technological inventions owned by corporations such as the various models (cars). As well as it will become more new in terms of raw materials, foods, goods and other technologies are invented. Thererfore, it simply make us enlightenment.
It was said in the video that the first industrial revolution ramped up around 1800. They started on steams, trains and factories. On the second industrial revolution resulted from the industrialization of electricity technologies where the electric cars and communication technologies is invented. Before cars was very expensive as well as now but the problem is the horse poop will lessen because there are many cars that we can saw. In our place, I saw that only few people using the traditional vehicles maybe because the new vehicles like cars will help them move easily. If the rate of all kinds of vehicles increases our environment became more polluted. Perhaps, our earth is finite and all the things that we done will reflect on us. In my case, I would prefer to the past vehicles that was being invented before because it will help our environment as well as our earth.
I just realize that the videos that we watch is orderly that's why it's not hard to understand. In this video, it was also implies how electricity made industrial revolution, they got an idea to made many technologies that help us through our daily lives and day by day it was getting more improve that developed one's society. I as year pass another inventions got to their minds that made world's technologically advanced, i am strongly believe that there is more industrial revolutions that will happen in our future ahead.
Indeed electricity made everything work, electricity improved our industry. In present, everything is making work by electricity. So without this electricity we might not have or see what is today’s industry. We might still have things that work only with steams and stick only of having a trains, like what is said in the video where industry started. I wonder how is life before without this kind of industrialization, and also wonder how will life be if we didnt had this industrial revolution.
I now understand why Ford (cars) is so popular and expensive in today's time. I never knew that Ford was the first man, brand or company that made cars. He basically changed and shaped the world of transportation. From slow and unconfortable horses to fast and efficient cars (Model T's). I always see the Model T cars on hollywood movies but i did not know that it came from Ford. I always hear from some of my friends that they want to have a Ford someday and i now understand why. I'm actually glad that he made lots of museums to preserve and showcase the history of his cars and other technologies, dedicating even one of them to Edison who inspired him. Thanks to him, transportation is now faster and easier for humans.
Please do a Crash Course on Edgar Allen Poe (aka my favorite writer... along with Shakespeare, but that's not relevant.) I know everything about his life. But I can't find anything about what he was like as a person... other than depressed. BTW I love your books John Green
And you would not have that if it had not been for the union members that fought ( and some died for ) for that. Mr. Ford hired goons to break the knee caps of union leaders and lead rioter to 'break unions" in picket lines with axe handles and clubs.
Before I watch, I'm betting this has very little to do with Science. Edit: Yup, called it, it was basically a history of Ford Motor with some Industrial and Social History on top
*You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on earth.*
"After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with colour, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked - as I am surprisingly often - why I bother to get up in the mornings. To put it the other way round, isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be a part of it?"
Well ford did not invent it in the first place the first inventers of mass production was Carthageans, to build ship and resuplly their armada with them why they are not mentioned anywhere? Also maybe mentioning Toyota (the biggest and most powerful car enterprize of today) about how they perfected ford line manufactoring by letting the workers to stop the line to inspect any anomaly before that anomaly produce mass scale malfunction in the produced cars to diminish manufactoring defections and waste of materials and maximizing effiency of the production and giving the workers more room to selfimprovement and belonging to the company.
Great way to put a modern spin on a historical character, and I am not complimenting modern values. Ford decides to offer a huge wage to workers, and he has such a huge response that he knows he can ask more of the workers than just doing a good job in the factory. The workers did not have to apply for the job, they went out of their way to apply, and they seriously wanted that $5.00 a day. To hear this video you would think that people were being forced to do those things. There is no doubt that Ford was a flawed man, but asking employees to be decent people outside of work is actually something that many employers require right now.
It isn't a modern spin though. Ford pioneered, among other things, the wage premium hiring strategy. It has been discussed in management literature since the 1950s when Drucker made management an acceptable field for capitalists to study. As for the idea of employees being required to behave in certain ways, it is so common today because pioneers like Ford attempted to see how much freedom people would give up in exchange for higher wages.
@@o76923 The modern spin is applying current moral values to historical persons. Ford was considered to be a great progressive and a friend of the working man in his time. That is until the unions decided they could get even more out of him if they went on strike and shut him down. Ford drastically increased wages in order to keep good workers from leaving the brain numbing jobs he needed to fill. It worked, but union leaders are trained in how to make workers feel dissatisfied, so they went on strike after the wage increase was put in place. Anyone who leaves their job has quit and should never look back. But politicians buckled to labor union thugs and their bribes, so we have to put up with their thuggish extortion to this day.
@@Laurelin70 I trust that a business owner will pay his employees the least that he can. But he needs a certain level of ability from his workers, and he knows he must pay a competitive wage or they will go to work for a competing company. The market is much better at setting wages and prices than politicians, or bureaucrats are.
Hey thanks for not mentioning Ford's best hit "The International Jew" and how he forced every ford dealership to carry copies of it. Wouldn't want to show how concrete his beliefs were and how he abused his power after all we're just here for the science.
I mean, the two are pretty closely intertwined. Ford had revolutionary ideas in management that transformed the world in ways that are still apparent today. But we cannot gloss over that we have improved upon bad parts of those ideas or that some of those ideas were originally motivated/designed with bigotry as a goal.
