One thing I'm beginning to find tedious is pointing out how wrong Mr Grasse is, because yet again he is incorrect. The first factory as we know it today was in fact opened in Venice in 1104 it was the Venice Arsenal and it was erected to build ships (at it's peak it built one ship a day and employed over 15000 people). That being said I will agree that Britain did build lots of factories in the 1700's (as did America) but if it weren't for these factories and the wonderful people that worked in them we would not have the technology we have today, you wouldn't be able to read this blog for instance as the world wide web would not have been created because computers would still be the size of a small house (if indeed they would exist at all).
