How Did The Industrial Revolution Affect Our World

While some people think that the first inventions were computers or I-Pads, others can prove them wrong. The Industrial Revolution had a great impact on our world. It was a period in our history when machines started, and changed the way people lived. Most of these changes occurred during the 1800’s. Before the Industrial Revolution, people made what they needed. This meant that there were several farmers in the land. Children did not attend a public school, instead they were home schooled. Once the Industrial Revolution started, all of these things changed. Many farmers lost their jobs to the new machines, mainly because cloth was easier to be made. Boats and cars were the new way for people to get around. Therefore pollution greatly increased.
