Read the paragraph. Before the Industrial Revolution, most goods were made by hand, in peoples's homes. Workers would buy raw
materials and complete each step in the process to make a finished product. Manufacturing by hand took a long
time, and therefore, the prices for finished goods was high. Industrialization changed all that. Machines took
over the manufacturing process. These machines were much more efficient than workers creating items by
hand. This meant that many more items could be produced, drastically reducing their price, and making them
more affordable for consumers.
