An astounding rush of inventions and technological innovations transformed America and its economy in the late nineteenth century. In the entire period up to 1860, the government issued 36,000 patents. But 440,000 were issued in the 30 years between 1860 and 1890. Some of these inventions, such as the refrigerated railroad car and the cigarette-rolling machine, formed a basis for new industries and fortunes. Other inventions, such as the typewriter (1867) and adding machine (1888), mechanized office work and allowed record keeping to keep up with the flow of products and the vastly expanding volume of sales. The telephone (1876) revolutionized social and economic life. Even more important were the invention of the gasoline engine (1878), and the spread of electricity (the light bulb was invented in 1879).

Women fought to enter the work force in the Industrial Revolution
think this may refer to the fact that our agrarian society (ie based on farming??) cnaged to an industialised on with the Industrial Revolution
The life we live today began with the industrial revolution and on that foundation we continue to build and change the world with our computer systems and information revolution. Things don't happen in a vacuum and without the inventions of the industrial revolution we wouldn't have our world.
The difference was that the American Revolution was conservative while the French Revolution wanted to completely change everyday society.
The Industrial Revolution is a change from hand farming to machines.
