I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did the first industrial revolution merge into the second?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The first Industrial Revolution merged into the Second Industrial Revolution around 1850, when technological and economic progress gained momentum with the development of steam-powered ships and railways, and later in the 19th century with the internal combustion engine and electric power generation.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
