[edit] Social impact
Unlike factory workers, factory managers had time to spend time with their families. They did not care about their workers and fired them if they were not keeping up. Factory managers were also in charge of recruiting workers and maintaining the machines. They had sets of rules for their workers and did not like when strikes occurred. They could become wealthy if their factory was successful or become poor if their factory was a failure.
[edit] Environmental Impact
Many factories caused sound, air, and many other types of pollution. This caused city life to become very noisy, crowded, and hectic. The factory managers were not concerned with the polution.
[edit] Economic Impact
Opening a factory was very expensive to start with. Factory managers had to pay inventors a lot for their machines. Factory managers salaries were typically high so they could afford to send their children to school. The money also had to be used to buy supplies to keep the factory running.
