Enduring Understandings: How did the European Industrial Revolution affect society?

It basically shaped the world we live in today through technology, work, the way we live (large cities). Huge industries also popped up due to advancements in tools and equipments, making it easier and cheaper to produce products. However, the industrial revolution also affected the world in a bad way, where industries and the urge to produce things are emitting greenhouse gasses, making the earth warmer (climate change).
