Life would be completely different if the Industrial Revolution had never happened. So many new inventions, medicines and buildings were created which contributed to the positive change in the Industrial world.
Without the Industrial Revolution, travelling long distances would take long periods of time. The main methods of transportation used today are the car , airplane, train, and boats. These would not exist if it wasn't for the Industrial Revolution. Before the Industrial Revolution and during its early stages, people traveled by horse, carriage, boats that required wind or man power, and by foot.
The Industrial Revolution also brought about advances in the medical world. These advances and inventions allowed people to live longer, healthier lives. With the new machines and materials being produced, items like bifocals were created in 1780's. The flushing toilet was invented in 1775 and while at first this was a luxury, it would eventually lead to better sanitation, allowing for less contact with harmful bacteria. The stethoscope was invented in 1819 and antiseptics were used in the late 1840's. (Dlcrooks.blogspot.com.au, 2012)
Daily life in a world without the Industrial Revolution would consist of hard work. People would stay within the surrounding area of their home, working as farmers to feed their families and pay for any necessities they could not make themselves. (Addison, 2014)
If the Industrial Revolution had not happened, humanity would trade a world of easy transportation, conveniences, medical treatment and widespread communication for a world that did not suffer from pollution, global warming, or deforestation.
