The industrial revolution has changed the world drastically from farmers and spread out populations to cities packed with millions of people and factories. Life expectancy almost doubled and the quality of lifestyle became better. Coal was the very thing that fueled the industrial revolution. Coal also expelled lots of carbon dioxide in the air polluting it too. Even with all the pollution in the air the other events that happened made up for the dirty air. Overall the industrial revolution was a net gain for society.
The industrial revolution had many positive impacts on society. For example longer lives. With advanced medical technology and better ways to transportation people from different places could get better medical treatement. Another good thing from the revolution was improvement of lifestyle. Factories could make many more luxurious items in less amount of time a person could make them. More people could get access to these things easily since there was so many of them and could be so easily distributed.
Some negative things happened in the industrial revolution too. Pollution. Since all the factories, trains and machines ran on coal it polluted the air. A lot. The content of carbon dioxide in the air grew exponentially making the air a lot dirtier.
In the end the industrial revolution got us technology wise to where we are now making the whole event a net gain for the world.
