He posed the existence of gravity and, in 1687, his findings, "not only accounted for motion but definitely united heaven and earth in a single scheme and created a convincing picture of an orderly nature" (Noble 724). This notion left room for God and as he aged, he realized the "limits of the capacity of human reason to encompass experience, which explained, too, his unflagging interest in the Bible and Prophecy" (Boorstin 407)
This increased demand for cotton with production jumping to twice as fast as before. The steam engine is another important invention of the Industrial Revolution and it connected to two "basic commodities of modern industrialization -- coal and iron" (Chodorow 718)
His ideas did not solve many problems with the Ptolemaic system but it allow for thinking in a new direction. (Craig 665) Tycho Brahe took this idea a bit further, suggesting earth and the other planets in the solar system revolved around the sun

Isaac Newton was next great scientific mind to contribute to the Scientific Revolution. He posed the existence of gravity and, in 1687, his findings, "not only accounted for motion but definitely united heaven and earth in a single scheme and created a convincing picture of an orderly nature" (Noble 724)
This way, work became more and more specialized and new forms of skill developed whereas some old ones were lost. However, what was most important during this process was the fact that labor became more mobile and as a direct consequence, the quality of life improved (Ashton 21)

The first section was opened in 1865 ("Science Museum" 2011). Irish Immigration Adding to the social problems Britain had to endure during the first industrial revolution was the influx of immigrants from Ireland during the potato famine (Williamson, 1986)

These changes increased the available designs based upon the publication and genre. (Meggs) (Eskilson) For instance, Times New Roman uses many of the techniques from Caslon to create a bold faced layout with large amounts of space and varying typesetting
This is when technological advances were improving the way a host of activities were performed. (Jobling) In the case of typography, photography and printing these shifts had an impact on the techniques that were developed
