Industrialization is very significant when discussing the history of the world.  I think Industrialization brought us where we are today.  While not everything about the Industrial Revolution is positive it definitely enabled the United States and Europe to be global super-powers.  Some long term effects of industrialization on the modern world were more jobs and people, a rise in productivity, urbanization, health problems, pollution, and working conditions.  These factors ultimately led to reforms and political movements leading to the new modern world with jobs and work.  Trade, new inventions, and industrial growth have helped to shape our world to what it is today.  Many of these inventions in new technology made daily lives easier, and more efficient. Each new invention led to a newer and more powerful invention, but along with the labor to create and manufacture the products comes pollution, money spent and money earned, and the overall impact of global warming.
