The Overall Effect
The Industrial Revolution changed the ways of many people in the world. It opened up job opportunities, provided new inventions, and for the most part, changed things for the better. One of the major revamps was in agriculture. Prior to this revolution, the majority of farming was subsistence farming, meaning that farmers only grew enough to feed their family, and would not have much left to sell. So many farmers were poor and had to live off of what they grew. In addition, agriculture was the main business, so the majority were farmers. Times were hard and people had to spend long hours out in the heat.
The Industrial Revolution brought change to this life style. Mass production was just beginning, so factories were made, which brought along new job options other than farming. This mass production, along with new inventions in agriculture, gave many farmers new equipment that made the work less difficult and time consuming. In addition, these inventions allowed farmers to double the amount of produce made. This made it possible to sell more crops and make a profit.
The Industrial Revolution changed agriculture today. The inventions brought new ways of thinking and ideas to agriculture. Without this revolution, you would not see such a large production of goods in stores today.
