The Industrial Revolution PP

The Industrial Revolution (late 1700s, Britain) shifted production from handmade goods in small workshops to machine-made items in factories. Key changes:

• Hand-making to machine-making: Machines in factories produced goods faster.

• New power sources: Steam power replaced human/animal power.

• Rise of factories: Work moved from homes to factories, causing urbanization.

Impact:

• More goods, cheaper: Increased production made goods more affordable.

• New jobs: Factory jobs replaced traditional crafts.

• Big cities: Urbanization led to overcrowding.

• Faster travel: Trains and ships improved transportation.

In short, the Industrial Revolution transitioned manufacturing from hand to machine, altering living, working, and consumption patterns, and establishing the base for today's industrial society
