Electrical power extended time for work and play. The telegraph which made it possible for people to communicate better. Oil made it possible for people to pay less money. These relate to modern revolution because they create access to many different forms of information by creating new jobs and connecting more people together. It made it so now people can accomplish more from home. For example: research, shopping, pay bills, etc. We still do all of these things today.

Hope this helps .

For the answer to the question above, they went to shows like the Vaudeville show, they went to picture movies, they started watching and playing sports, they sent telegraphs to communicate with others, they shopped, read newspapers, went to amusement parks, Wild West shows, and went to concerts. We still do many of these activities today for our leisure time.
