Steam Engine
James Watt created the first truly reliable steam engine in the year 1775. Other, that didn't work well had been developed in the 1600s. Watt’s version included a crankshaft and gears and is the foundation for modern steam engines. This invention is what made locomotives and many of the textile machines possible.
Power Loom
Edmund Cartwright invented this in the year 1785. It drastically changed the way cloth was woven by making it much easier. It would take almost another half a century and several alterations by other creators before it would become commonly used.
Cotton Gin
Eli Whitney patented this (cotton gin is short for cotton engine) in the year 1794. Prior to the invention of the cotton gin, cotton seeds had to be removed from the cotton fiber by hand. This invention made cotton a much more profitable crop for farmers so they make more money. With this invention, many more farmers turned to cotton as their main crop because of the profits, greatly increasing the amount of cotton plantations in the South. These expanding farms needed cheap labor, which also resulted in an increased use of African slaves.

It was later improved upon and patented by Isaac Singer in 1855.
Internal Combustion Engine
Jean Lenoir invented this in the year 1858. Eventually this engine was used in mass transportation.
Telephone
Alexander Graham Bell created this in the year 1876. This invention further improved communications and eventually led to the various communications devices used today.
Phonograph
Thomas Edison created this in the year 1877. Prior to the creation of the phonograph the only option for entertainment was for live musicians or actors to perform. This allowed people to listen to music anywhere.
