Before the beginning of industrialization in the 1800's people were isolated, poor, and lived working in small businesses. Never before had the working class been mobilized to power large companies that shaped the urban lifestyles of society in the West. These large factory companies moved into small towns and gathered workers to run their machines. This increase in pay for work improved the life of people from all classes of society. However, while these new large corporations took over small isolated towns people rejected what they produced. This can be seen with the creation of railway systems. They connected society as an easy and cheap mode of transport for people and goods. Connecting the country, it allowed for more trade. Trains on the other hand led to an shift in theft. They themselves now served as targets to be robbed. In this way criminals were able to prey on the progress that the railway systems created.
In modern times new technologies have led to huge advancements in science and economy. With these instruments society has grown. One example of a newly created technology is the drone. The human race for the firs time is now able to fly out to battles to survey information or fight without endangering human life. However, at the same time it can be seen that terrorist groups could get their hands on drones to bomb cities. Even small criminals can get their hands on a small drone and fly it over to a store with weaponry to rob their safes. Technology can be used in many ways, but their are two main categories: to help the economy or people within it, or to hurt them.
