In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the authors of your textbook observe, “industrialization and mass production pushed the United States into the forefront of the world (Baker et al.).” The era was accompanied by an acceleration of inventions and innovations that helped propel the industrial revolution. Led by “captains of industry” the era fundamentally changed the United States and raised new questions about what it meant to live and work in American society. How did the changes the accompanied the industrial revolution compare and/or contrast to the changes that accompanied the technological revolution of the late 20th and early 21st centuries? In your response identify and cite one article from the New York Times Database from the FSW Library to make your comparison. (https://researchguides.fsw.edu/home)
