As most people already know, the Industrial Revolution was one of the BIGGEST things to happen in our past history. It made life ten times easier for people and was a breakthrough for life. There was a great acceleration in the rate of technological innovation which led to major output of goods and services. Many inventions were made to make every day life easier for individual. This was HUGE for the economy. In most cases, the Revolution was helpful and created many of jobs. This was great because it gave people the chance to travel to the cities and get jobs but sometimes that wasn’t the case. Often times there were TOO many people looking for jobs and wasn’t enough to go around. Sometimes people would get sick and lose their job, and wouldn’t really have any money to get by. Their kids would starve, they would starve, and their lives would become a living hell. It was brutal for those who suffered sicknesses especially with all the people and diseases involved in this era. I sympathize for those who had it rough.
On the other hand, the Industrial Revolution was incredible and the invention I appreciate the most probably is the steam engine. It basically saved our lives because it gave all of us a way to transport. Without that breakthrough we probably wouldn’t be able to have submarines or trains. Moving things around is what our world does best and it’s a necessity to have that. Along with many other things like the telegraph, ELECTRICITY, and steel processing. I mean, take a minute and just think. What if we didn’t have all these inventions in our everyday life? What if we didn’t have a phone to call people or a switch to turn on your light? Life would be a mess and all the conveniences we have now would have never existed. The Industrial Revolution was vital for our everyday life and I’ve definitely learned to appreciate it! J
