Not everyone liked the advances in technology that were made during the Industrial Revolution. Why were some people opposed to new inventions that made production faster and more profitable?

1. Many inventions took jobs from people who used to make products by hand, leaving them unemployed.

2. There are always people who will be frightened of change and its advancements.

3. Too much money was being funneled into the research required for new technology.

4. The new engines created soot and smog, which caused air pollution in the cities.
