Goods that had once been crafted by hand started to be produced in mass quantities by machines in factories, thanks to the introduction of new machines and techniques in textiles, iron making and other industries. The positives and negatives of the Industrial Revolution are complex. On one hand, unsafe working conditions were widespread and pollution from coal and gas are still struggles of today. On the other, the move to cities and inventions that made clothing, communication and transportation more affordable and accessible to the masses changed the course of world history. Regardless of these questions, the Industrial Revolution had a transformative economic, social and cultural impact, and played an integral role in laying the foundations for modern society. https://iowaculture.gov/sites/default/files/history-education-ghk-industrial-revolution-manual-08.2021.pdf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7beKoAwEZM.
