Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Before the Industrial Revolution, people made what they needed on their farms by hand. That changed when people invented machines to make products much faster and easier than they could be made 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: -The industrial revolution that spanned from the late 18th century into the early 19th century caused the most significant change to tool manufacturing processes. Before that, tools were made mostly by hand in small batches or one at a time. The new technology of this era, however, allowed tools to be made in factories.

Detailed explanation-3: -Before the industrial revolution, almost all production in manufacturing and agriculture relied on equipment powered by people or draft animals, with some assistance from waterwheels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Before industrialization, when the most significant economic activities in most European countries were small-scale farming and artisan handicrafts, social structures remained essentially as they had been during the Middle Ages.
