technological innovations during the
late 1800s and early 1900s

technological innovation	impact
automobile
incandescent lightbulb
mechanized assembly line
mechanized farming practices

reduced the need for agricultural workers
allowed businesses to operate for longer hours
allowed factory production to become more efficient
increased the mobility of the population
enabled people to communicate over longer distances

Explanation:

To solve this, we match each technological innovation with its impact based on historical knowledge:

• Telephone: Enabled people to communicate over longer distances (as telephones revolutionized long - distance communication).
• Automobile: Increased the mobility of the population (cars made it easier for people to move around).
• Incandescent lightbulb: Allowed businesses to operate for longer hours (electric lighting extended the time businesses could be open).
• Mechanized assembly line: Allowed factory production to become more efficient (assembly lines streamlined manufacturing).
• Mechanized farming practices: Reduced the need for agricultural workers (machines in farming replaced manual labor).

Answer:

• Telephone: Enabled people to communicate over longer distances
• Automobile: Increased the mobility of the population
• Incandescent lightbulb: Allowed businesses to operate for longer hours
• Mechanized assembly line: Allowed factory production to become more efficient
• Mechanized farming practices: Reduced the need for agricultural workers
