How did the industrial revolution effect peoples lives?
The steam engine was the most important invention because of how it changed human lives. It changed their lives because; since the steam engine was built new factories were made. The steam engine offered more variety in jobs to humans. Farm workers ran to cities to find jobs in the factories, because there vegetables were not selling. The steam engine made machinery much faster to operate. Factories also used children to operate machinery, so it had a big impact on children. Children were not paid as much as adults were. They also had very risky things to do. When humans worked at factories they were also at risk. They were at risk because machinery was not one hundred percent safe. Sometimes the machine would have a default and blow up or the human would do something to put themselves at risk. Since the steam engine was made transportation for humans helped a lot. The steam engine made the train, which helped people go to city to city for less the time and much easier then walking.
