Industrial society facts for kids
In an industrial society, people use technology to produce a lot of things (mass production). This leads to a large population with an organized division of labour. This happened to the Western world during the Industrial Revolution. This replaced farming or agrarian societies of the pre-modern age.
The US and many European nations are examples of industrial societies. China and India are also somewhat industrial but large parts of their populations still farm.
