The Industrial Revolution made the creation of thousands of goods possible. The products were produced efficeintly and inexpensively in the factories. Using intercahngable parts, machines could be easily fixed when they broke down. The assembly line, by Henry Ford was a great improvement. Each factory worker added one part to a finished product. The factory system made the factory system wildly profitable. Man was becoming a machine. There was no room for individuality.

With Industrialization on the rise new products were being created with the help of factories. A system called the interchangeable parts was developed with machines and their parts were produces uniformly so that they could be easily replaced when something broke down. Later the assembly line was developed where factory workers added parts to a product one after the other.This made production soar. Men however were extremely overworked and very much underpaid. They also suffered from injuries caused by dangerous machinery and bad conditions. They were forced to work up to 16 hours a day and their kids as young as 6 year old undertook a role in the increasing rates of child labor.

Industrialization led to the creation of thousands of new products. The products were produced quickly and inexpensively in factories. With the use of Eli Whitney's system of interchangeable parts, machines were easily fixed when they broke down. Henry Ford's, assembly line made it so that each factory worker had to only add on one part to a product. This made the factory system improve greatly. Production rose but workers became extremely overworked. The workers were underpaid and had no insurance or protection. Accidents occurred commonly and many workers died. Children as young as six even worked on machines, working up to sixteen hours a day.

The Industrial revolution allowed the development of numerous new products from clothing to toys to weapons. These products were formed professionally and at a bargain price in factories. Under Eli Whitney’s organization of interchangeable parts, machines and their parts were created uniformly so that they could be simply replaced when something broke down. Afterward Henry Ford’s system was the assembly line which was each factory employee added only one part to a finished product. These systems benefited the factories in a great way allowing things to become more profitable.

The Industrial Revolution had created many of good from areas in weapons, toys, and clothing. The products were being made at a faster pace at an inexpensive rate. Eli Whitney's interchangable parts had made machines and their parts to eb easily replaced if they had broken down. Then later, with Henry Ford's assembly line made each worker add one part to a finished part. It made things move along faster. Man were just working and was being just like the machine.

Industrialization helped produced thousands of new products. The products were produced faster, and the items became cheaper. Many machines were bilt with interchangeable parts, and machines were easier fixed when they broke down. Henry Ford came up with the idea of an assembly line. This means that each factory worked had to add one part to a finished product. This system became extremely common. The biggest problem with the workers in factories was that women and children were now forced to work for long hours, and they were underpaid.

The purpose of the factory system was to help produce new products quicker. As a result of the Industrial Revolutiom many new products were made and they were produced cheaply and quickly; this was a result of Eli Whitney's system of interchangeable parts. Down the line Henry Ford used the assembly line, which was a line of workers each adding on a part to the product until it was completed. This system helped to produce products quicker thus, reducing the cost. The only problem was that people were not only using these machines they were becoming machines. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, people worked on farms, at home, or in small shops; they were overworked and underpaid.
