Technology to cause the industrial revolution. explain the effects of the industrial revolution on our society today. my answer is this "the effects on industrialization changed our society today by making it so we can do things faster. the invention of the telephone people communicate with people and family who lived in other places. roads guide people as they drove and provided a smooth drive instead of driving over rocks and holes in the ground. steamboats and ships manufactories transport goods all around the world and provided travel for people. without all the inventions made, our world would probably be different than it is today. also, it led to worldwide urbanization."

Hey!

Hope this helps...

First: My personal opinion is that you should go with the answer you already have, but also add to it about how technology has upgraded during that time, and how it affects America today, and how it helps the people of America today... but if you want my answer...

The industrial period was the greatest event in all human kind history, it is considered the father of inventions (not including the people who created those inventions), it led to the creation of the telegraph (now known as the telephone), the invention of computers, the invention of cars, the invention of many more things that help all Americans today!

These inventions help us talk to people long distances away (without having to send a telegraph or letter, and hoping it reaches them in time), the invention of computers helps Americans not only buy the items they need faster, but also meet new people across the globe!  The invention of cars help us get to our desired places faster without having to take a horse-and-buggy, or even walking!  These inventions help Americans in our every day lives, even without us ever really thinking about it!

Society progresses with every new invention made, with every new idea spread, and with every business made!  Without any of these inventions, life today would never exist, and we all would still be writing with quill and ink, and still be sending letters to our folks, wishing them a happy birthday, only to find out that the card reaches them 3 months after their birthday!!

Anyway... hope it helped...
