The process of adopting new technology was slow for the following reasons:

1. The machines were costly: the cost of the newly introduced machines was so high that the industrialists and producers were careful of using machines.

2. Repairing costs: the repairing of the machines was costly. Therefore the industrialists preferred the old crafts-person and worker.

3. Limited use of machines: though many inventors produced many machines they could not get sufficient buyers. The newly introduced machines founded in very few industries.

The steam engine which was introduced by  James Watt had no buyers and it had limited use in the industries until the latter half of the 18th century. Thus it may be assumed that even though the new technology improved the productivity of labor manifold, it was slow to be accepted by manufacturers.
