    With the emergence of railways, electricity and so on, it is safe to say that the industrial revolution permanently changed society. It sparked an era that increased human productivity. Before the industrial revolution, workers depended on manual labour and simpler machines. However, the revolution brought a movement of mass production with the help of multi-purpose machinery.

    Had the industrial revolution never happened, we would never have cars, television and so much more. Moreover, most of the world would have to live in grinding poverty as the situation before the revolution.
