The main focus of this article is realizing how beneficial the improvements in steam and other form of energy for use in industry were to factory owners. And how they had the exact opposite effect on the less skilful labourers in the work force. Machines were more reliable and constant in output than humans were. Production costs were drastically reduced as a result of less human workers being needed to do tedious and repetitive jobs. So when these things were mated with the fact that machines were being advanced to the point where they could perform tasks that were beyond human ability made it much more advantageous for factory owners. The only advantage for the rest of labour forces was that the increased use of machines made it necessary for other jobs that were needed in maintaining and constructing the equipment.
