1. They helped transport supplies and other things that the factories needed. Communication helped the ideas to spread faster.

2. The factory owners realized that they could pay women and children less money to work, so they started to get more jobs.

3. People started to move to bigger cities to work in factories instead of susistant farming.

4. The machinery made work easier and faster for people to do. To do their job they only needed to know how to operate the machinery.

5. Some inventions caused people to think of new ideas and to change and improve them.

I don't think that playing video games can influence someone to go on a shooting spree. I agree with the points that they made in the article. The person probably had other reasons for going on the shooting spree. The person needs to know the difference between video games and reality. Video games can't train you to kill people because he wouldn't have any experience.

I think that the most important invention invention of the industrial revolution was the cotton gin. It made work a lot faster. It carried out the work of 100 men and made it quicker to produce cotton to help make clothes. Before that it took longer to remove all of the seeds from the cotton.
