Producing goods was all

done by hand or simple

machines. It took longer to

produce a little. For example

the spinning wheel could only

be operated by one person,

who powered it by a foot

petal, which then only

produced one thread at a

time. Many people worked at

homes in rural areas and

some worked in shops in

towns. Only a few industries

existed all over Europe. Craft

workers worked with simple

tools and created leather

goods, silverware, weapons,

hardware, jewelry, and pieces

of cloth. People traded town

products for food raised in the

country side. Communication

between people and

transportation was very poor.

People had to work hard,

especially farmers. Many

people work all day, but still

produce a little and earned a

little. A lot of workers suffered

from malnutrition, which then

makes it easier to catch

diseases. The quality of life of

the people before

industrialization was poor.
