You realize how you can sit in front of your screens being an employee of a company or charging a big manufacture company. Probably, something happened in 1900s placed in England changed the mindset of human race from Feudalism to Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a transition to new manufacturing process from 1900s and ended between 1920 and 1940. The signs of the existence of the Industrial Revolution are from the use of machines, the development of chemical manufactory, textile industries, stronger building manufactures, and  the end of Feudalism.

A lot of people think that the Industrial Revoulution is no more than just an ordinary revolution like others. But, they don’t realize that actually, things they are using right now are the result of the Industrial Revolution. As a young generation, we should know how things became easier now than the past times.

The Industrial Revolution is the rapid development of industry that occurred in Britain in the late 18th and 19th centuries, brought about by the introduction of machinery. It was characterized by the use of steam power, the growth of factories, and the mass production of manufactured goods (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/industrial_revolution).

This revolution has a major impact to our life. You could know it when you see skycrapers made of iron, steel, glass, and almost as tall as the clouds in the sky. It is all because people have developed technologies and discovered out more since the Industrial Revolution. The most simple example of the Industrial Revolution that is still used until now is a sewing machine. People don’t need to spend a lot of time sewing their clothes all day long. They could just use it to shorten their time. The other example from the Industrial Revolution that you can find in this century is the steam engine which is created by James Watt. It helps us in such large scale. Instead of using foot, people in the industrial revolution travel by steam train. Even now, people has developed steam-powered locomotive and discovered an electric locomotive which uses electricity as its main power.

It is true that this revolution brings good things to us from many sides. But, this revoution is not always advantageous as it seems to be. One of the disadvantageous of this revolution is the beginning of pollution. Before all the factories came about during the revoluton, there was no major sources of water and air pollution in the world. The pollution never stopped after this time and continues to contaminate our air, land, and water. The other negatve impact from the Industrial Revolution is the major decrease of the bright winged butterflies. The pollution that caused by the factories in that time failed the attempt of the bright winged butterflies to camouflage themselves from the butterfly hunters. It will be easy for hunters to say whether there’s a butterfly or not, because bright winged butterflies cannot cover themselves in a thick black smoke that caused by the factories in that time.
