The price was not right

I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs. In a report about industrial accidents in 1916 it says in 3 months there were over 500 deaths in philadelphia that were Industrial related accidents. This shows that it was very dangerous to work in factories even as an adult. Since there were more factories popping up because of the inventions in the industrial revolution that meant more deaths and industrial related accidents. Likewise in a poster “Making Human Junk” it shows the affect Child labor in the industrial revolution had on children. It says that they were good at first and had good wages but soon it started to drop they got lower wages and wouldn’t have a different future they would just be stuck there because they wouldn’t know how to do anything else because they had to work for their entire childhood just to be able to get food on the table. Another reason for why the benefits were not worth the cost were in a  photograph taken by the Detroit publishing company, shows three factories giving off a lot of smoke. This causes a lot of problems first off it was pollution that was being given off by the factories which went into the air polluting it. This pollution also caused other problems. Since there was so much pollution that in big cities they needed streetlights to see during the day. Pollution was one of the biggest problems in the Industrial revolution, because it is still a problem today. Pollution is what is causing global warming and it all started because of the industrial. If we didn’t have the industrial revolution and reduced the pollution being given off then global warming would not be a problem today. In conclusion those are the reasons for why I think that the Industrial revolution benefits were not worth the cost.
