In Social Studies, we have been writing an essay about the popular technologies and how they have changed over time
Agricultural Age
During the agricultural revolution period in history, there were some significant technological advancements. Some of the inventions during time were tractors, Seed drills, and Fertilizers. These inventions seen during this time are all still widely seen and used today.
A significant invention during the agricultural revolution period were the tractors. A tractor is used for pulling or pushing agricultural machinery or trailers, for plowing, tilling, disking, harrowing, planting, and similar tasks. The first gasoline/petrol-powered tractor was built in Clayton County, lowa, US. Tractors have evolved and advanced quite a bit since the first engine was invented by Benjamin Holt and Richard Jordan Gatling in 1892. This is why this is an important invention
Another significant invention during the agricultural revolution period were the seed drills. A seed drill is a device that sows the seeds for crops by positioning them in the soil and burying them to a specific depth. The first known seed drill was attributed to Camillo Torello in 1566, and then it was further refined by Jethro Tull in 1701 in the Agricultural Revolution in England. This system is still used today but has been modified and updated such that a farmer can plant many rows of seed at the same time. This is why this is an important invention
Combine Harvesters were also used during the time period of the agricultural revolution. The first one was introduced in 1834, in the United States and was invented by Hiram Moore. The Combine Harvesters are capable of reaping, threshing, and winnowing cereal grain. The early versions were pulled by horses, mules, and oxes now it is pulled by machines. This machine is still in use today and powered by diesel and gasoline engines. This is why this is an important invention
In conclusion during the Agricultural era, there were many significant technological advancements seen Some of those discussed are the Tractors, Seed drills, and Combine Harvesters. These are all commonly seen today all around the world and are still very important.
