Feedback - Feelings on the IR

What is the "net effect" of the Industrial Revolution?

POSITIVE EFFECTS:

• The lives of people became more comfortable- we don’t have to make everything they need.
• There is more variety and choices of products that people can choose to purchase so we can buy best products at best price.
• There are more jobs for people.
• The life expectancy became longer.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS:

• There is more pollution.
• Population increased- more people needed shelter, food, job, etc.
• More factories are using lands that can be used to farm- less food.
• Number of factories increased- more and more pollution.
