Life before the Industrial Revolution

Answer 1

Before the revolution there was much labor work for people to do and have an income from, after the revolution there was less as new inventions were made and less people were needed to do things the new machines could easily, cost efficiently, and rapidly do. So in short, people were being replaced by machines that could work longer hours, and not need to be paid.
