Market Revolution had nothing to do with technological developments. It was more of a development that occurred because new places and people became accessible. And this was possible only because of the new roads and canals that were constructed. For example, the Erie Canal which opened a new route to areas that was otherwise unreachable. Market revolution brought a huge change in the economic system. Earlier selling meant locally but after the revolution people were able to travel and sell their goods in foreign market as well and earn new customers for their products.
