Industrial Revolution notes 2

     A society based around agriculture is called an agrarian. Production becomes faster in factories in the industrial revolution. Instead of being made by hand people just take care of one small portion of the process and this cuts work time in half. Now people are being paid hourly work pay instead of how much you make. Men are the only ones working at this point, but then women and children come into play and start working because they can do the same job the same way. People started to work more women and children because you could pay them less than men.
