The question is incomplete because you did not attach the list of websites. Although there is no list, we can say the following.

The positive thing about the Industrial Revolution was that the development of new technology allowed the creation of machines that improved the production systems, surging what was known as mass production. Many fabrics were built during the Industrial Revolution and owners offered many jobs to operate the new machines. Mass production accelerated and increased the production of goods. Many people left the rural areas of the country to establish in the large cities where the factories were located.

Among the negative side of the Industrial Revolution was the fact that yes, many jobs were offered, but they were low paid jobs. And in the fabrics, workers labored under harsh and unhealthy conditions. There were many accidents operating machines. Many immigrants arrived at these large cities and lived in crowed spaces because they were poor people just trying to survive. So many people lived in small places, were hygiene was a serious problem as well as the spread of diseases.
