The Industrial Revolution started in England in the late 1700s. It changed how people worked and lived. Before the revolution, most people worked on farms. Many made things by hand. After the revolution, many machines were invented. These machines made work faster and easier. People moved to cities to work in factories. Factories made clothes, tools, and many other products. This made life different for many people. Children also worked in factories, sometimes in bad conditions. The Industrial Revolution helped people but also created problems. Today, we still see the effects of this period in our machines and cities. It is important to remember this history as we create new technologies in the future.
