Document Summary
Major centers: germany and united states, who themselves were trying to catch up to british lead in industrialization. A newly unified germany and young us nation wanted to emulate the successes england had seen with industrialization, and were willing to try out new approaches to industrial processes in order to do so. Contrast this with england, who by this time was firmly entrenched in first industrial age methods. For example, developments in steel-making which started in first industrial revolution also start to help economies of countries other than britain like us and germany. Us steel output: 70,000 tons in 1870; 1. 25m in 1880, 10m by 1900, 26. 1m in 1910 (andrew. Carnegie is a good example of major us steel maker) As we will see, techno-science based industries represent a turning point in the relationship between science and technology from this point on, the disciplines will be closely connected in a way we have never seen before.
