[edit] Steam
...is mentioned but I think it needs a lot more emphasis, and maybe a section on power. Steam power was pivotal, since it was the only constant source of a great enough amount of power to run large factories. Mass industrialisation could not have happened without it.

- animal power - not enough power available
- waterwheel - an inconsistent unreliable power source
- steam engine
