A lot at history through the eyes of modern inventions can give us an interesting view on how things develop. For my class we've been assigned to research different technological advances and how they've affected us today. I decided to do my research on the agricultural revolution and see how that is continuing today.

This site gives an overview of the agricultural revolution in England and some of the advances that came from it. As technology continued to improve, men became consistently more efficient at farming. This allowed more people to develop industrial jobs and led to an influx of migrants to the big cities.

Now a days the revolution continues to make our farming methods more efficient as people discover new ways to gather resources. The machine below is  new machine developed that takes cow manure and converts it into usable energy. Not only does this make farming more efficient, but now farmers can be completely self-sufficient. Check out this article to learn more about the machine.
