Industrialization has had tremendous benefits for humankind.

Industrialization lead to development of automation, faster transport, better communication and even healthcare. New jobs have been created and every aspect of our lives has been changed for the better.

The world of the last 2 centuries has been completely transformed by Industrialization.


However, industrialization also had a few negatives impacts. In the short run, there were thousands of people who lost their jobs due to automation.

Industrialization also lead to the development of a more chaotic 'city life' where people often stay wake till late night and have to work early in the morning. This lead to sleep problems which have a huge impact on the health of city dwellers.
