Technology in the 1800's By, Carl Morton
There were many different types of technology in England in the 1800s. Some of the technology that was used were lanterns, Electrostatic machines, typewriters, and X-rays. The technology that was used backed then is similar to the technology that’s being used today.
Lanterns were a very popular type of technology that was used in the 1800s. Lanterns were used in many different ways. Some people used lanterns to light their homes. People also used lanterns for light when they needed to go outside in the dark. Lanterns were also used for camping out. The lanterns in the 1800s had one handle at the top for people to hold on to it or hook it on to something. Lanterns had a circle-like platform at the bottom so people could sit it down safely without it catching anything on fire. Lanterns was a great light source for people in the 1800s.
Electrostatic machines is another type of technology that doctors used on their patients in the 1800s. These machines would send shocks through a person’s body. X-ray machines is another type of technology that doctors used on their patients in the 1800s. X-ray machines in the 1800s had a stand with wheels at the bottom of it. The machine had a screen with a frame around it plugged into a device. Electrostatic machines and X-ray machines was the medical technology used for people in the 1800s.
Typewriters is another type of technology that was used for the public in the 1800s. Typewriters were used to write newspapers, type letters, and write reports. Typewriters were made out of steel. Typewriters had a socket for people to put the paper in it to type on it. Typewriters made things easier for people to communicate with each other without having to write everything down with their hands. In the late 1860s typewriters became the most popular technology used for writing in England.
Trains were another type of technology used in the 1800s for people to travel in England. The trains were called locomotives. Locomotives were all black. Locomotives traveled passengers and they were the fastest way of transportation in the 1800s of England. Train stations were built for passengers and many people liked the idea of the train system. Trains became the most popular way for Englanders to travel in the 1800s.
Telephones were another technology that helped people communicate with each other in the 1800s. Telephones changed a lot of things in England. The telephone was invented in 1876. The telephones in the 1800s of England had a piece to put on your ear for you to hear what someone is saying and a piece that you talk in to. Telephones were usually black and silver or brown and silver. Telephones changed everything for people because they didn’t have to write letters all of the time or have to go see that person face-to-face.
Escalators were technology in the 1800s of England. The first escalator was not built to make things easier, it was built to serve as an entertainment ride. Escalators in the 1800s of England moved at 75 feet per minute. The escalators usually were skinny and had one side going up and one side going down. Escalators had black stairs moving and all silver rails. Escalators made it easier for large groups of people to move at the same time without crowding a one way stairway case.
Sewing machines were another technology that was used in the 1800s of England. Sewing machines were made in 1830. Sewing machines looked like a big box. The color of them were usually white. People could sew easier and if they had jobs for sewing now it could be done faster. Sometimes people hurt their hands using sewing machines. However, people liked sewing machines because it was a quicker way to sew.
Revolvers were another technology that was used in the 1800s of England. Revolvers had 6 bullets in its barrel. The barrel on the revolver could spin. Revolvers are very powerful and people used them as secondary weapons in wars. Revolvers usually had a big trigger, brown handle, long, and silver. People used revolvers for protection.
Lightbulbs were another technology that was used in the 1800s of England. Lightbulbs were not very popular in the early 1800s because they did not hold light for very long time and the light bulbs worked poorly. Later in the 1800s light bulbs were invented to last longer. Light bulbs were used inside and outside to light things. These light bulbs were used for street lights, porch lights, and house lights. Lightbulbs could be put on stands to make lamps too. People liked lightbulbs and made them their choice for lighting things. The use of lanterns slowly faded away.
Submarines were technology that made it easier for the navy to attack ships in the 1800s of England. Submarines made it easier for the NAVY because the enemy could not see it coming and it was easier to destroy ships without it firing back. In the 1800s of England submarines were much bigger and slower. The first submarine in the 1800s of England successfully went under the water and came back up.
Gasoline powered cars were another technology in the 1800s. These cars were faster but it could be dangerous because of the gasoline. Also gasoline cars could blow up the car and kill or injure people. Gas cars were created in 1892. Many people crashed their gasoline cars and then it would catch on fire. People used gasoline cars because they were useful and could get them to work or school.

Technology also helped people to communicate easier and faster. People in England of the 1800s used technology in their life every day. There are many other different types of technology that was used in England in the 1800s that was helpful and useful and most of the technology is still being used today.
