tööriistapõlv

Tööriistapõlv refers to the generation of machines that marked a significant shift in human industrial and societal development. This period is often characterized by the widespread introduction and reliance on machinery in various industries and daily life. During this time, the efficiency and productivity of manual labor were greatly improved, leading to increased output and economic growth.

Tööriistapõlv is believed to have begun in the late 18th century and continued through the late 19th century, corresponding with the First Industrial Revolution. Key innovations of this era included the development of steam-powered engines, waterwheels, and textile machines. The introduction of these early machines greatly increased the scope and scale of manufacturing, transforming the way goods were produced and consumed.

As the industrial revolution progressed, machinery became increasingly crucial to the functioning of modern societies. The reliance on machines accelerated urbanization and the growth of new industries, laying the foundation for the modern global economy. By the late 19th century, many people had adapted to and relied on the increased efficiency and output provided by machines.

The impact of tööriistapõlv was profound and far-reaching. It enabled the mass production of goods, redefined the relationship between workers and their employers, and transformed urban life and culture. Despite its many benefits, this period also saw the emergence of labor movements and concerns about working conditions and social inequality. The legacy of tööriistapõlv can still be seen in the advanced technologies and machinery that underpin modern society.
