What was a positive result of the industrial revolution?

The Industrial Revolution was the shift from handmade goods to machine-made products. One positive effect of this change was that the price of goods dramatically decreased. Products that previously been time-consuming and tedious to make were made more efficiently and in less time. Textile factories are one example of where this occurred. Prior to inventions such as the spinning jenny and the power loom, the production of cloth was a multi-step process that took place in the home using a hand loom by one person. With mechanized weaving, the time needed to do this was dramatically reduced, which eventually led to a decrease in price.
