Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Before the Industrial Revolution, people made what they needed on their farms by hand.

People working at those machines made money, and bought items like food and clothing instead of making them by hand.

Detailed explanation-2: -Goods that had once been painstakingly crafted by hand started to be produced in mass quantities by machines in factories, thanks to the introduction of new machines and techniques in textiles, iron making and other industries.
