The transition from hand production methods to machines

Real World Example

The Industrial Revolution was important because it drastically changed how goods were produced, leading to faster production and economic growth. This period highlighted tensions between workers and factory owners, as poor working conditions and low wages led to labor movements. These tensions relate to today's discussions on workers' rights and fair wages. In our daily lives, the Industrial Revolution's legacy is seen in the way we rely on machines and technology, like smartphones and computers, to improve efficiency. This event also laid the groundwork for modern urban life, with many people living in cities and working in industries that continue to evolve.
