The spinning Jenny became a very helpful tool for families because it was used to weave cloth and both women and children could use it. This was helpful for the family if you were not a cloth worker because spinning Jennys were replacing cloth workers, but because it was so portable and cheap business and factory owners could not help but to get one. The clock was another useful thing to have. Whether you were a man, women, or child, having a clock was always good to have. The clock made it easier for families to go to work on time, finish lunch on time, and get home on time. The clock helped reduce the number of people getting fired because they were no longer using the placement of the sun. This greatly helped families because they no longer had to worry about showing up late to work or getting fired which helped people keep their jobs and a steady yearly income.
