He refers to American material culture as a mallcondo culture; a culture that is trying to be avoided by some hopeful nations and sought after by other willing and expanding nations (28). History has shown that our consumption has expanded exponentially over a fifty year period; we consume more for our families and ourselves, we buy larger houses and splurge on lavish vehicles. It is easy to blame this unflattering culture characteristic−materialism−on commercialism but Twitchell insists that it is “the scapegoat du jour” often blamed for social epidemics and the corruption of youth (29). The blame is being passed around when it is truly materialism and our love of things that
Consequently, this encouraged demand from abroad and wide areas of new trade opened up for Britain to enter. Technological innovation, with the birth of inventions could also account for the growth in industry. Thus it is apparent there are several factors to be considered, concerning the industrial revolution.

The invention of the steam engine in the 18th century transformed the transportation capabilities of society and spurred further innovation as people and materials could be quickly transported on land for distances previously unimaginable. Finally, it is difficult to understate the ways in which the microchip and personal computer have fundamentally altered the organization of society; the instant access to and constant flows of information have changed communication, education, and business in modern society. In light of the social change wrought by these technological innovations, sociologist William Ogburn argued that technology was the basic cause of social change. In particular, he identified three processes by which technology drove social change: Invention, discovery, and diffusion. While invention can refer the combination and transformation of existing materials into new items, it can also refer to social invention and the propagation of new ideas.
