Detailed explanation-1: -Before the Industrial Revolution, most goods were produced in small workshops or at home. Mass production in factories made it possible to manufacture goods more cheaply and quickly.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The Industrial Revolution enabled people to use machines instead. As a result, people went from living in the countryside and working on farms to living in cities and working in factories.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most historians place the origin of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain in the middle decades of the 18th century. In the British Isles and most of Europe at this time, most social activity took place in small and medium-sized villages.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Industrial Revolution took place over more than a century, as production of goods moved from home businesses, where products were generally crafted by hand, to machine-aided production in factories.
