How Did The Industrial Revolution Change The Modern World

By living in London, I noticed that things have changed throughout the years. The major change from 1760 to the period 1820-1840 began the Industrial revolution, which did had some major effects on the world. This revolution helped to bring about the modern world we know today in many ways. A most important positive effect would be the modern inventions. It changed the way in which many products, including cloth and textiles, were manufactured. It change the production in which machines replaced tools and steam and other energy sources replaced human or animal power. Life got better for some, but the Industrial Revolution was also harmful. Pollution increased, working conditions were harmful, and capitalists employed women and young children,
making them work long hours for low wages. During and a little after the Industrial era, there were some inventions created. For Example, the vaccination inside of a was created in 1796, The telephone was invented in 1876 by Howard Bell, and the light bulb was invented in 1879. The X-ray machine, , was invented in 1895.

There were also overall positive effects. For example, modern buildings were constructed, Architecture was modernized, and so were modern inventions created. Modern Buildings were built within walking distance of a factory but built away from the smoke. They built row houses and apartments for people who needed homes when they moved. There were many new inventions that bettered people’s lives.
