Innovations, Innovators, and Culture
Aviation
With WWI pushing out planes faster than
ever, businessmen saw opportunities. New
commercial passenger airlines and freight
planes were becoming apparent, and they
have since then expanded widely.
Henry Ford
Henry Ford made some of the largest innovations
for the Industrial Revolution in the 1920s, not only
benefitting his profit, but the people as well. He
brought out new ideas like standardization, the assembly line, and high wages for workers.
Economy
The 1920s brought great economic wealth and innovation for
America, and changed the economy forever. Introduced was Consumerism, the urge to buy the latest and greatest. Even more impressive was the implication of the Stock Market, creating a new
way for anyone to make money in America.
