6 Natural Resources Fuel Industrialization Continued -railroads were biggest customers for steel -steel used for barbed wire and John Deere s plow -Brooklyn Bridge (considered a wonder of the world) completed in skyscrapers with steel frames

7 Inventions Promote Change -Thomas Alva Edison -1876, established the world s first research lab in Menlo Park, NJ -perfected the incandescent light bulb (patented in 1880) -George Westinghouse -with Edison, added innovations that made electricity safer & less expensive -electric streetcars made urban travel cheap and efficient -factories could be located anywhere, not just near sources of power

8 Inventions Change Lifestyles -Christopher Sholes -typewriter, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson -telephone, these two inventions affected office work and created new jobs for women
