Imagine that your teacher gives your class a special project. Your teacher says, "Today we’re going to study the Industrial Revolution. Here is how we will do it. I have brought some simple kits for making toy cars. There are several kits for each of you. Let’s see how many cars the class can build between now and recess. Ready? Go!"
Everyone gets a kit and begins working. You look around and see your classmates punching out car parts from plastic frames. Suddenly, you have an idea.

Remote Access

Distance Makes the Access Stronger Introduction SC Magazine Opinion How to read the Opinion Boxes Product Reviews Page One Page Two Introduction
In recent years a combination of social, economic and technical advances have converged to create a dramatic increase in the number of users requiring remote access to networks. Businesses continue their quest to reduce overheads in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Each square foot of costly office space saved by teleworking has a direct impact on the bottom line. Employees, weary of the daily drudge of unpaid and stressful commuter journeys, regard working from home as an efficient and creative use of their valuable time. Technical solutions have advanced sufficiently to provide reliable access portals to networked information. In addition to the traditional employer-employee relationship described above there is an emerging class of portfolio workers. Such workers will provide services to numerous organizations as and when required. They will be afforded access to the necessary network resources in the organization to enable required tasks to be conducted. Much of the above has quickly become commonplace and is an accepted feature of 21st-century life. The Internet is, of course, the primary enabler of such communications, but it is only during the last few years that remote access technology has provided the necessary solutions to allow the rapid deployment of practical applications. We are all familiar with inflated claims by various futurologists, software vendors and IT gurus, that one or another new application is going to fundamentally change the fabric of our daily lives. Oftentimes the reality is painfully slow in catching up with the rhetoric, and delivering cost-effective, efficient, useable and stable solutions into an expectant market remains the exception rather than the rule.

Child Labor and the British Industrial Revolution, Part 2
by Lawrence W. Reed, October 1999 It has not been uncommon for historians, including many who lived and wrote in the 19th century, to report the travails of the apprentice children without ever realizing they were effectively indicting government, not the economic arrangement of free exchange we call capitalism. In 1857, Alfred Kydd published a two-volume work entitled The History of the Factory Movement . He speaks of "living bodies caught in the iron grip of machinery in rapid motion, and whirled in the air, bones crushed, and blood cast copiously on the floor, because of physical exhaustion." Then, in a most revealing statement, in which he refers to the children's "owners," Kydd declares, "The factory apprentices have been sold (emphasis mine) by auction as 'bankrupt's effects.'" A surgeon by the name of Philip Gaskell made extensive observations of the physical condition of the manufacturing population in the 1830s. He published his findings in 1836 in a book entitled Artisans and Machinery . The casual reader would miss the fact that, in his revelations of ghastly conditions for children, he was referring to the parish apprentices (children who were under the direct authority and supervision

Introduction
This supplemental unit to Lyddie was developed by Mary Jewell in the Schools of California Online Resources for Educators (SCORE) Project , funded by the California Technology Assistance Progam (CTAP) and the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) This unit is anchored in eighth grade language arts and social studies and fits well within a unit on Industrialization and Immigration. Using the book Lyddie , by Katherine Paterson as a foundation, students explore the issues and experiences of factory life and immigration during the 1800s, explore development of labor and women's rights, and create a Hyperstudio game that shows their understanding of these issues.
  • The following questions will help guide students and teachers throughout the unit:
    • What are the characters in the book like, and what effects did they have on Lyddie?

Eli Whitney Well, everybody was working like crazy. Now, American factories had been built, and they needed more cotton. Removing the seeds was the most time consuming jobs on the plantation. In 1793, educator Eli Whitney made a machine to remove the seeds from the cotton. This allowed the workers to pick and clean ten times as much cotton as they had before. The increased productivity from the cotton gin fueled further advances in automating the production of cotton and other cloths. Back Next TeachersFirst

94. MAY DAY: What Happened To The Radical Workers' Holiday?
Discussion about the development of May Day in Europe as a working person's holiday.Category Society Holidays May Day...... It belongs to the working class and is dedicated to the revolution. The IndustrialWorkers of the World, a radical labor union, also rallied around May Day.
http://students.washington.edu/ruckus/vol-2/issue-6/mayday.html
Ruckus version 2.6 MAY DAY
what happened to the radical workers' holiday? Michelle Cobban
The fact that workers had it tough in the early years of the American Industrial Revolution is widely taught in schools. Sixteen-hour workdays in dangerous conditions, child labor, exploitation, and accidents were common; then, magically, everything became better in a civilized, twentieth-century way. The forces behind this change are left ambiguous at best, and the radical labor movement isn't discussedtoo difficult for young minds, perhaps. And so the visions of masses of militant workers parading through the streets of cities, towns, and villages on May Day is lost in the revision of history. May Day is not just about the arrival of spring. It is also 1880s workers demanding humane treatment; it is men and women around the world marching in solidarity against the factory owners who would have them work all day, every day but Sunday; it is anarchists, socialists, and leftists of every kind working together within the labor movement. This association of May Day with radicalism is ultimately what led to it being downplayed in contemporary accounts, while Labor Day remains as a state-sanctioned holiday. The first May Day, in 1886, was a call for eight-hour workdays by the workers in many American cities; it is now mostly associated with the Haymarket Martyrs. A bomb thrown by an unknown person at a labor rally in Chicago's Haymarket Square killed one policeman; authorities rounded up whom they considered to be the leaders of the local labor movement and put them on trial. Mother Jones said of the incident: "The workers asked only for bread and a shortening of the long hours of toil. The agitators gave them visions. The police gave them clubs."

Technology can replace workers
Not all advances are positive
by Lubna Alam
January 30, 2003
Something strange has landed at Schnucks: do-it-yourself, automated checkouts, complete with an electronic female voice designed to soothe the savage shopping beast inside. Before critiquing the new invention, I decided to try one out. Despite some problems locating bar codes and issues with vegetables (how do you scan an apple anyway?), my experience went smoothly. Now I am no Luddite. After all, I am part of the new technology-savvy generation, adept at downloading music, instant messaging and talking on the cell phone all at the same time. Nevertheless, I get an uneasy feeling with some of the new technology sprouting up all over the place. Is there really a need for automatic scooters as a replacement for walking on city streets? We all get less exercise as it is; I don't think the elimination of walking would be something to cheer about. Besides, all this technology, in addition to speeding up our society, is also cutting down on human interaction. We can spend days without ever seeing another human being. While it certainly is incredible to order books in my pajamas, it also makes me pause. When everything we need can be ordered from the Internet, why ever leave the house? Even here at Saint Louis University, I often found myself instant messaging people my freshman year, instead of walking over to talk to them or calling them on the phone. While technology is bringing us together in some ways, it is also driving us apart.
