Was it worth it?

I believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs. For example the invention of the typewriter was big for the people and businesses. When the typewriters came out they were better for businesses because they were faster, more reliable and more durable. With all of the factories popping up around the United States, population was getting bigger. That was better for businesses because people would buy more things and would become more into their business. It also affected society because with all of the new people they needed more transportation. In a picture by Detroit Publishing Company I saw new railroad tracks being built. That shows how it affected society because with all of the new factories more people have to get around places. Kids can also have fun with the new technology. With all of the new bikes and toys coming out ids were having so much more fun. The money that was going towards tech was really giving kids the new tech and helping kids have more fun. If the technology never happened then we might not have phones and other gadgets like that. I think that it was worth the cost.  

Worth The Price?

I think that I was worth the price. The Interview with Harry Reece supports my argument because it made people more excited about the future and maybe it inspired more people to innovate the things the modern day technology brought to life. The typewriter ad supports my argument because at the time, it helped lots of people write and make letters. This helped businesses work more efficient so they can get other businesses notes or documents that could help them a lot. The factory supports my claim because it shows how far we have come in the industry with creating technology.  This will impact lots of people because it will make whatever the people need, faster and more efficient. That is why I think it was worth the Price.

The Industrialization Affect

I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs becaue therre were so many affects that cause many probems in our country starting with the informational poster called Making Human Junk. Child labor wasn't rght because kids had to work everyday and they ot ill and injuried from being forced to do hard work. "There was a poster created in 1913-1914 by a man named Lewis Wicke Hine. He wanted to draw the attention to many people to inform the how child labor was very bad. Child Labor shouldn’t be allowed because children might end up with no future and low wages." Another example of industrialization was the article The Accident Report. Many people were getting very badly injured from industrialindization affecting our country. "The accident report was written in 1916 by a man named Paul Underwood Kellogg, and he wanted to inform people about industrialization. Too many human beings have been getting severely injured and industrialization has been costing many lives." My final example is Factory Smoke Stacks. Factory Smoke Stacks polluted the air causing many animals and plants to die and costing hmsn their live. "Factory smoke stacks were invented by the Library of Congress in 1890-1901 to inform people about pollution. There were too many factories polluting smoke in the air which was affecting humans, be cause humans got very ill from the pollution and many plants and animals have been dying." Industrialization was a bad affect in the U.S. because of some of those reasons.

Was Indrustrialization worth the cost.

I think that smokestacks are not worth the cost because the smoke that they have is
not nice for the air and also the nature. It’s harder to breath and also with the smoke will go everywhere like the ground .Also animals, if animals breath the air animals could die, and if the animals die we won’t have food.
I think that making human Junk are not worth the cost. Because people or kids get sick with the work that they do. They work at this place so they can race money to get food or buy a house, but they don’t get that many money. Many workers lots their lives because they didn’t get that many money to get food
I think bicycles don’t worth the cost because bicycles are not something really cool, bicycles are just for fun and just riding it.

Industrial Revolution:Ruining The World

I don't think that it was worst the costs and how the second industrialization impacted Humans.All of the pollution could affect people with the disease and also trees they would die that would mean the end of mankind. because everyone breaths and trees produce oxygen so if the trees get polluted it would be really bad for us.In the photograph smokestead it has a factory producing pollution that would harm the people working there because they don't have anything to protect them from the pollution. Kids working in factories to could get hurt because they are still learning about the world and forced into this bad labor and like it said in the poster named Human Junk it states they are normal kids but then once they take their job they become like nothing and treated badly and for those kids to feel that way is horrific because these kids suffered and died just so you can have a phone and tv and all these nice things we have today. These kids sacrificed their childhood so you guys could be happy.People have to work so hard to build things and get horrible diseases like black lung and some bad fevers.Everyday someone could die just trying to live and all of the pollution would hurt inside because of all of the machines that are probably not safe.

Risking it for the Right Reasons

The industrialization period was a good period for technology that technology was worth the cost. According to the article, “Wizard of Menlo Park,” the Wizard or Edison created a lot of new technology. His technology was a great step up for the United States. Edison created so many different things, the most useful was the electric light bulb. The electric light bulb made sure that no one had to use gas-filled lamps and have to be at risk of an explosion. In 1913-14 a man named Harry Reece was going to Chicago for his first time he couldn’t wait to see all the technology that there was. What he saw was the first electronic piece of transportation the trolley car. That was very important because that helped people by getting people places fast. It was very amazing for Harry Reece because he was a farmer boy so he hadn’t experienced this before. That is important because everyone should be to experience the new technology. The Detroit Publishing Co took a picture of a field and factories. This is important and was worth the costs because this showed new opportunity also new jobs. This was very good for businesses because it showed opportunity for trade and new jobs. The new jobs would be able to have everyone take care of their family and no one will be broke. Children became s happy with the new technology that was being created. Another piece of transportation was the bikes and the trikes this was another fast piece of transportation it also created jobs. This was important because children weren’t bored anymore and the bikes and trikes were able to keep them busy. These all were very important and they were worth the price. They were able to create new things and those things were able to become the technology we have today. That is why it was worth the cost.

How will it help us now

I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs. In a photograph by Detroit Publishing Co. It shows a factory with smoke. The smoke goes into the air, producing pollution into the earth. The pollution was so bad that people had to start using street lamps in the day. In the poster “Human Junk” by Hine Lewis Wickes there are kids looking sad and dirty. Through this time there was also child labor going on. Hine Lewis Wickers is saying that if you work these kids now, they won’t have a job after this. He is also saying that if you work them too hard then you’re making “Human Junk.” This means they can’t find jobs and they can’t work because they are all worked out. According to google discovery, the article,”Polluting the Environment,” says the pollution was really bad and started to get people sick. Plants started to die. People needed to use street lamps to see during the day. They were getting Typhoid fever and other diseases from pollution in the water. I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the costs.

Edison, the Innovation, the Technology... and Then There's "Human Junk."

Pollution from the Industrial Revolution was very drastic after the huge increase of factories. According to the article “Polluting the Environment,” in the early 1900’s, pollution was so bad that people needed streetlights to see in the daytime! The pollution from the factories got into the water supply because most cities had bad sanitation. The pollution then caused an outbreak of a disease called typhoid fever that infected many people.

After the big increase of factories happened, more workers were needed, so what better thing to do than call upon the almighty children. “Making Human Junk,” a poster created by Lewis Wickes Hine (1913-1914), shows how children are taken in perfect and happy, go through the process of working for awhile, then come out dirty, unhappy, and without a future. Essentially, “human junk.”

Not only children are workers. Men work too, providing for their family so that they can live. An accident report by Paul Underwood Kellogg (1916), 60% of dead workers had not reached their point of working life, meaning most were children. Also, Allegheny County had lost over 500 workmen every year. That’s around 40 workers every month which ends up being around 1 worker every day. That’s a lot of deaths, almost too much. Not only lives were they losing, but also human power.

It could've been good or bad...

I do not believe that industrialization was worth the cost, for three reasons. It gave off a lot of pollution, turned kids futures into junk, and the factories had many accidents that I don't believe were worth it. In 1890-1901 a picture was taken by the Detroit Publishing Company. This photograph shows that the factories let off a lot of pollution, by showing all of the smoke. I think pollution was not worth the cost of industrialization. According to the article “Polluting The Environment,” it said that air pollution became so bad in cities with factories that people needed streetlights to see during the day. Pollution caused many problems in this time period, and America is still trying to take away the amount of pollution in the air. Kids who worked in factories weren't payed much and were treated horribly. A poster created in 1913, called Making Human Junk, asked the question if the industry should be allowed to put the cost of working in factories on children and society. This poster by Lewis Wickes shows how kids who work in factories lose their future. It shows kids working in factories, and said that the children are good material at first when they start the job, but after they work their pay gets lowered and their future gets lost. The poster called the workers junk or trash because all they did was work in factories. Factory accidents were common during industrialization and caused many workers to die. In 1906-1907 there had been accidents in work factories that caused a lot of damage. 526 men were killed over the span of the year. I believe that these accidents were not worth the cost. In the report by Crystal Eastman, she said in the span of three months the hospitals received 509 men that had been injured from industrial accidents. Overall I think Industrial accidents were not worth the cost.

Factory After Factory, Destroying America.

This industrial revolution was not worth the cost. Many people got sick, hurt, and the factories polluted the environment. From the photograph Factory Smoke Stacks by Detroit Publishing Company, these new innovations needed factories to produce them. When more and more factories were built, a lot more pollution was spewed out of the stacks. This made for many sicknesses’ such as typhoid fever and many other diseases, according to the article “Polluting The Environment”. When so much pollution got into the atmosphere streetlights where needed during the daytime. I would feel really dirty all of the time with clouds of soot hovering over me. This industrial revolution also impacted young children, from the poster “Making Human Junk” by Hine, Lewis Wickes, many children were put to work in dangerous conditions. According to this poster factory work also ruined their futures because they were treated like items not like the young children they really are. Many men and women workers also got hurt or even died. “...over 526 men were killed by work accidents” (Taken from “Accident Reports” in Pittsburgh, 1907. Written by Eastman, Crystal). In all the industrial revolution was not worth the cost, many people got hurt, died, and pollution filled the sky. So, do you think it’s worth it?

Industrial revolution: Was it worth the cost ?

Typewriters helped the business industry a lot The typewriter helped business workers work super efficiently and they benefited companies. The typewriter let owners make so many important documents and make documents that prevent copyright for their innovations. There was a smoke picture of factories that could represents the growth of the U.S. Even though it shows the pollution that land was once it was Teepees than farm land and now factories that produce technology that helps us everyday.  In 10-30 years how will the landscape evolved with new technology. Harry Reece a western boy loved the industrial revolution. He explains that all of the new technology helped him get around and see things in a brighter view. The technology made from the industrial revolution made it easy for people to do things. THe industrial revolution was definitely worth the cost.

Industrialization: Was it Worth the Effort, Time, and Cost?

No, I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies from industrialization were worth the cost. In the picture of Factory Smokestack, pollution is filling the air and producing factory “trash”. People living around or near these factories are threatened and do not benefit from this pollution, they are harmed. For instance, these people would not have to plead for street lights to be able to see during the day otherwise it would be dangerous. Soot and smoke filled the air from burning coal that people used to heat their houses and other buildings. Water became polluted and caused diseases. For instance typhoid fever was caused from the water.
Businesses affected societies and the people in them. In the photograph of Making Human Junk, children are shown going through a process starting as perfectly fine kids then turning into mad, angry, and sad children. Low wages were problems with the working because these kids worked for many hours a day, with little pay. There was no future included in this working either. Nothing good came out of this for the children and their families that were suffering already too much. Kids at the age of 20 or under shouldn’t even be working in a factory that could kill you with the harmful smoke and machines.
The excerpt written about working accidents explains how 526 workmen were killed while working in Allegheny County, a country in Pittsburgh, in one year. During the active years of the Industrial Revolution, these factories of dangerous activities were something to fight about and not to forget at the time. Many people died in an unfair way, unnecessary amount of working hours and little cash to pay off that sweat. The industrial revolution was not worth the cost even with the benefits of the new technology to contribute to the environment that people were living.

Was Industrialization Worth Facing The Consequences?

I do not believe that the benefits of new technologies were worth the cost. I believe that the Industrial Revolution impacted people, business, and society negatively.

Industrialization factories had impacted the environment and society by emitting heavy air pollution. According to the article “ Polluting the Environment “  air pollution became so heavy people needed streetlights to see during the day. Adding on to the consequences Industrialization caused, Industrialization also impacted the water which then became polluted causing typhoid fever and other diseases. Another reason why Industrialization has been impacting people, business, and society negatively is the spreading of child labor. The time of Industrialization had largely increased the open opportunities of jobs even leading to child labor because of the need of more workers to help create new technologies. Arguments from Lewis Wickes claimed that children who start working at a young age would end up with no future and end up as worthless garbage. Children were paid low income after hours of brutal work. Child labor was already a main issue in the nation but because of the time of Industrial Revolution the problem might as well be ignored for all the exciting outcomes to appear during the time. One last reason why Industrialization was not worth the cost was because of the many accidental deaths of innocent people. When industrial activity was starting to grow at it’s height 526 men had already lost their lives by work-accidents in Allegheny County.  During 3 months, hospitals of the county had received over 509 men injured in such accidents. Risking human lives was not worth the benefits that were created.

This is why I believe the benefits of new technologies was not worth the cost because of the negative impacts it had on people, business, and society.

Ruining America One Invention At A Time

The benefits of industrialization were not worth the overall cost of damage to America. One of the damages to society was horrible pollution from factories. According to the article, “Polluting the Environment,” “ By the early 1900s, air pollution became so heavy in industrial cities that people needed streetlights to see during the day.” This badly affected the people living near factories because they could get injured or possibly die because of the polluted air.
Pollution was a huge issue that was also shown in a Detroit Publishing Company photograph of smokestacks. Smokestacks are basically funnels that come out of factories and ships to let out smoke, which leads to pollution. In the primary source photo, it is showing smokestacks in factories and the air being affected. Therefore, pollution has terrible effects on the environment and society.
Along with pollution, another big issue was child labor. This was where children were treated as low pay slaves. The poster “Making Human Junk,” created by Lewis Wickes Hines, shows the process of child labor. The poster says that by the end of the process, the children have no future and low wages. It says that they have no future, because of two reasons in my opinion. Reason one is that if they are not payed a good amount, then they cannot pay for certain things that will help the become successful. The other reason that the children in child labor would have no future, is that they are not used to another job, and so since child labor is bad, if they had another job, they would not know what a “good job” is. Pollution and child labor are just two of the negative aspects of industrialization. For all of these reasons, the benefits of industrialization were not worth the cost.

The Industrialization Has Put People In The Dust

The benefits of new technologies from industrialization were not worth the costs because it was harmful to people, the society and the environment. The photograph called Factory Smokestacks by the Detroit Publishing Company shows the smoke that factories are emitting. The smoke is polluting our air. According to ”Polluting the Environment,” “By the early 1900s, air pollution became so heavy in industrial cities that people needed streetlights to see during the day.” The air is so polluted that even during the day, it is dark outside. In order to see you had to use street lights. Likewise, the Making Human Junk poster by Lewis Wickes Hine draws attention to child labor. The picture proves child labor should not be allowed because they will end up with lower wages and no future. Also known as “junk”. The children get very dirty in these factories and don’t even make that much money. Want to know what they do get? Sick. They get sick from being in these factories. Related to this, the Accident Report by Crystal Eastman written in 1916 tells us that so many men are getting killed in industrial accidents. The report states, “During three months, April, May, and June, of the same year, the hospitals of the count received over 509 men injured in such accidents…” This quote shows us that many people have died in factory accidents. That was just in 3 months. Imagine how many people would die at that same rate throughout the whole entire year.  This report really lets us know what is going on inside the cement walls of factories. Accidents and people dieing were not worth the cost.

Was the Industrial Revolution worth the cost? Yes, It was

The Industrial Revolution was an important part of history. You many think it was a terrible time because of all of the bad things, but without this revolution, you wouldn't be able to read this text because computer would never exist. Everything that turns on would not be available if the industrial revolution never happened. Back Then, most people were amazed by all this new technology. In the interview with Harry Reece, It says that people were amazed by the new technology. Also with our picture of the typewriter ad, It tells us about hout the new inventions are helping, and making things faster. And finally, the Picture of the kids shows the new technology that would benefit the children. (The reason they look unhappy is because they have been sitting there for 10 minutes, they did not have instant cameras back then) The industrial revolution was a big benefactor

Industrial Revolution: Killer or Keeper?

IN the article “human Junk” by Lewis Wickes Hines shows that children are “good material” at first, but then they are put though “the process”, which is working in a factory. Then they come out of the factory “junk, ” with no future and low wages.
This shows and reveals the effects of the industrial revolution on children. This lead to human accidents.

In tan accident report by Crystal Eastman, He talk about how there “is no bright side to this situation.” He states that “allegheny County [in the Philadelphia area] lost “500 workmen every year, of whom nearly half were american born,  70 per cent are workmen of skill and training, and 60 percent have not reached the prime in their working life.” This also shows that industrialization is a killer. The environment is affected as well.

In the article “polluting the environment,” it states that “air pollution became so heavy that people needed streetlights to see during the day.” THi shows that the pollution and industrial revolution has a negative impact. This also shows that pollution was so bad the the sun was blocked. These sources combined shows how the industrial revolution was not only negative, but it ruined the earth.

Is Killing Our World And The People In It Worth It For Industrialization?

Industrialization isn’t worth the cost that it puts on the world. In a picture by the Library of Congress titled Factory Smoke Stacks (1890-1901), it shows factories polluting the environment with their smoke. This affects the environment and the society because it pollutes a lot, and there is such heavy pollution it isn’t good for anyone. If there is so much pollution, people won’t want to go out, and maybe stores might get shut down because they aren’t getting business. Also, all the pollution could make people sick, and it could be really dangerous. This shows how much industrialization costs us, and how much it affects the world around us. Likewise, the poster titled “Making Human Junk” by Lewis Wick Hine, (1913-1914) impacts children in awful ways. These children are good material at first, but then they are used for child labor. The labor they are put through changes them, and they end up with no future and considered as “junk”. They are paid such low wages, that the cost that industrialization is putting on them isn’t worth all the new technology. In addition, an accident report by Paul Underwood Kellogg (1916) tells us about all the statistics about people being killed in factories working. So many people are being affected by industrialization, and it isn’t right. People are practically sacrificing their lives for new technology. Industrialization is killing men, 60% who haven’t even reached the prime of their working life. That means that they are really young, and because of industrialization, people that young are dying. Industrialization has too many effects on the ecosystem, society, and people, so I think it was not worth the cost.

Was it Worth the Struggle?

The industrial revolution resulted in some amazing inventions but many people had to pay a huge price. To keep the factories running they needed kids to do some of the typical tasks. A poster composed by Hine Lewis Wickes (1912-1914) shows how kids were affected. At first, it shows a bunch of kids smiling who appear to be clean. It also shows what happens to the kids after working at the factories for a long time. Most factories used different types of machines and some of the kids had jobs monitoring the machines. These events result in sad, tired, kids who were dirty. These kids worked very hard even though their work resulted in low wages. Sometimes they had no choice because they needed to support their families. The Industrial Revolution affected the world too in many ways. According to the article "Polluting the Environment," by Discovery Education, the text says “For example, coal mining produces chemicals such as iron sulfates that enter streams and kill plants and animals living in the area.“ This means that the essential resources needed to run the factories caused lots of problems. These problems resulted in pollution, deaths of plants and animals, and more. That’s just the pollution before the factories use the resources. The photograph “Factory Smokestacks” taken by Detroit Publishing Company shows that the factories produced lots of air pollution. It shows about 6 factories producing air pollution near locals which most likely affects them too.  I know this affected lots of thin because the article "Polluting the Environment," on the Discovery Education website, “This process threatened other untouched natural areas, such as pure water springs, waterfalls, and swamps.“ In my opinion I’d rather have less technology if it would result in more happy kids and less pollution. In the end the Industrial Revolution is not worth the cost in my opinion and I think we could've found other ways to produce technology.
