“How did the Industrial Revolution change modern conceptions of time?”

The clock was created a while before man started living by it. The Industrial Revolution modernized people’s once quiet, quaint farm lives. Factories filled with people who were once used to living farm lives relocated to cities and were now on a clock. The Industrial Revolution started what we know as a work day, a work week. If the factory started running at 7 a.m., then work starts at seven a.m. and our lives are run the same way. We cannot be late to class or work and expect for things to be fine, time is of the essence!
