Life Before The Industrial Revolution
Before the start of the Industrial Revolution, the world was a very different place from where it is today. Industrialization brought new types of roads, trains and many other forms of communications which did not exist before all the industrialization. So before the Industrial Revolution it was very hard to keep in touch with people in other parts of the country. News was spread by travelers or through messengers and goods were distributed largely within the locality in which they were produced.
Because it was so hard to move around: people had to rely upon themselves and their communities to provide the most of the things that they needed. Food was produced locally, agriculture could provide for but a few large commercial towns. Clothing was made locally with animal fur and hides. Very differently from how we make our clothing today.
Life was, for the majority of the population, the life of a farmer. By the 18th century the feudal system was long gone, but in it's place was a system in which the people were as reliant upon each other and their master as before.
People worked in villages and small towns, working the land and relying upon the local community to provide for them. What was manufactured was done making use of natural elements. Windmills for example could make the life of a miller easier.
Education was poor, only the rich being catered for by nannies and private tutors. There was to much stuff to do on the farm to even bother themselves with education. Although later on in years education began to grow in importance
