Towards the end of the eighteenth century the Industrial Revolution began in England, which brought economic growth with unprecedented speed in the history of mankind.
The <em>textile industry </em>was the pioneer in automating processes previously carried out in a manual and homelike manner through the creation of increasingly better equipped machines that exponentially increased the productivity of the workshops, generating over time the manufacturing system.
The use of machinery was later incorporated into rural activity, increasing the capacity to produce food on a large scale with a significant decrease in the use of labor.
Many farmers moved to the city where they obtained work in factories of different fields, generating important social changes that gave way to modernity.
Those factories took the model of factory production, division of labor and intensive use of machinery originally originated in the textile industry.
