Before the Industrial Revolution, people worked on farms or in small shops, and they usually had control over their own time. But after the revolution, many people started working in big factories, where they had to follow strict schedules and work long hours, it was like going from a fun game to a never-ending race!
Examples
- Before the Industrial Revolution, farmers could work when the sun was up, but afterward, workers had to follow factory hours, even if it meant working from sunrise to sunset!
- Children used to help their families on farms, but in factories, they were often forced to work long hours, sometimes for little pay.
- People who lived near their workplaces could walk or ride a horse to get there, now, many had to live in crowded cities just to be close to the factories.
