Lol.

Yes, the industrial revolution was either a good or a bad thing. That's the question right?

Okay, assuming yes means good. Industrialization has increased the quality and length of life for more people, therefore good. People seem to pine for "simpler times" I'm assuming based on something they read in a fiction novel or saw on television.

In reality life was short and brutal for the vast, vast majority of humanity for most of our history. It's only since advancements and sciences that we in large part even have the luxury to reflect on the past--through rose colored glasses most of the time.

Good in many ways, bad in some, I wish things hadnt become so convoluted. There is a lot of unecessary complexity in our infrastructure. That we industrialized is good, how we industrialized not so simple as to say good (a shy approximation of optimal)

pretty much my exact view. ultimately id rather have it this way than not being industrialized at all.

Side: yes

The Industrial Revolution put the impetus on machines being able to produce results in a much shorter time than humans pooled together.
