Well, life was revolutionized by the advancement of machinery, which allowed goods to be manufactured in mass quantities, which brings the price down, so more people can buy. It also changed the way we live in terms of people left the farm and went to work in factories. Before, there were no factories to work in. So urbanization occurred - it led to many more, and much larger, cities, as people need to live near the factory in order to work in it. This was a major change - for the first time since humankind, we moved from agrarian (farming) lifestyle to urban lifestyle.
