Detailed explanation-1: -The Industrial Revolution changed the way that goods are produced and gave birth to mass production, by the division of labour and the increasing prevalence of machines in factories. People and society were changed as an impact of mass production and the evolvement of factories.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mass production methods are based on two general principles: (1) the division and specialization of human labour and (2) the use of tools, machinery, and other equipment, usually automated, in the production of standard, interchangeable parts and products.
