<u>A technology that increased the productivity in the production (and also distribution processes) was usage of steam power.</u>

Steam power started to be applied to production activities in the UK during the industrial revolution, and made it possible to conduct mining activities, operate mills or to provide energy to a whole factory, decreasing production times and costs (for example, less physical strenght was needed and hence a smaller number of employees need to be hired for a certain task).
