Answer 1

An advantage of the industrial Revolution was the technological advancements. Some examples of the advancements are the steam engine, telegraph, and the power loom. Another advantage was that jobs were so easily available, and this caused a major decrease in the unemployment rate. However a problem with this was the factories began getting crowded due to so many people working in them. These factories allowed children, women, and men to work with no safety protocols in place. Since people were working they had little money to spend so they would rent homes. They rented these homes in low income neighborhoods, these homes would then begin getting crowded and dirty as well these are known as the slums.
