Describe at least 3 effects of the industrial revolution. include an opinion on which effect you think was most important

- Created jobs
- Fostered technological inventions
- Contributed wealth of country

Negative-
- Shortened the life span of workers
- Created pollution
- Increased the gap between the rich and the poor

Personally, I think the incredible urbanization was most important. It created this whole new working class of people, even though they weren't treated fairly

Well most importantly, the industrialization brought people in from rural areas and into cities. England was the first to achieve having more people in cities than in rural areas around 1850. But anyways, we also see the family dynamic shift, because they used to all work on a farm but now they all work separately across entire cities. But perhaps the second most important aspect of the industrial revolution was how much faster it was to travel places. Steam engines and railroads cut travel times ten fold, allowing the world to seem smaller. What was once a distant mythological place to England, China was now a 2 week sail away.

^^^ i agree with the person above me, good luck on whatever : )
