Industrialization made use of the social innovations that preceded it and paved its way, meaning that the social innovations that preceded it as we came out of the dark age were acted upon to the extent that an Industrial Revolution could then take hold. Examples of some of the most important ...

I'll use references to previous posts to illustrate this using the example of one social technology that industrial civilization is reliant on - the public education system in the United States.
