The primary impact of the Industrial Revolution on society was a profound transformation in economic, social, and cultural structures. It shifted economies from agriculture-based to industrialized and urbanized, leading to the rise of factories and mass production. This shift significantly increased productivity, enabled technological advancements, and altered labor patterns, resulting in urban migration as people sought jobs in industrial centers. It also fostered changes in social classes, with a burgeoning working class emerging alongside an affluent industrial capitalist class. However, while it brought about progress and innovation, it also led to challenging labor conditions, environmental degradation, and a redefined social dynamic.
