Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #33570 How World Works
Instructions
Throughout  the  18th  century,  mathematicians,  scientists  and  philosophers  researched,  discussed,  and  published  their  investigations  into  how  the  world  worked,  while  engineers  and  inventors  developed  new  and  successful  machines  and  processes.  The    theories  inspired  greater  invention,  and  more  technology  encouraged  theoretical  scientists  to  make  further  discoveries  in  medicine,  biology,  mechanics,  physics,  and  chemistry.  By  1800,  the  new  machines  had  brought  revolutionary  changes  to  the  workplace,  transportation  and  communications,  and  eventually  to  the  home.  Some  of  these  inventions  simply  made  it  easier  to  produce  things  on  a  large  scale  such  as  textile  machines  and  foundries,    produced  large  quantities  of  cloth  and  metal  objects  quickly  and  cheaply.  But  some  inventions    completely  new  possibilities  such  as  the  first  batteries,  steamboats,  and  locomotives.  It  would  take  decades  for  some  of  these  inventions    a  big  impact  on  the  world.    their  creation,  and  the  sheer  amount  of  imagination  and  risk-taking  ,  marked  the  beginning  of  a  modern,  global,  technologically  based  economy  of  the  kind  that  we  live  in  today.
