Hello:
I have tried to compile the pictures and quotes according to your
specifications. Following are the results:
Picture: http://www.geocities.com/k218tl/geography.html
Shown is the start of the industrial revolution where water mill and
wind mills replaced by the steam power.
Meaning: In 1710 work was done mainly by muscle power, there were
little machines other than water and windmills. The problem though was
these forms of power were unreliable, when the wind stopped blowing or
the water stopped running so did the machines. Places where there was
an abundant supply of wind and water tend to be in remote areas so it
was hard to find staff willing to work the mills. All of these
dilemmas lead to experiments with possible new types of energy, one of
them was steam power. (website).
Why: Shows a change from muscle power to turbine power and than to
steam power.
