Before the Industrial Revolution, it was hard to keep in touch with others from another country.
News was spread by travellers or through messengers, and goods were distributed largely within Singapore.
It was difficult to get around, as there were no cars, aeroplanes or trains.
Food was produced locally in Singapore, and clothing was also made locally.
Most of us were farmers, and we were relying on the local community.
Some of us were fortunate enough to benefit from imported goods such as windmills.
Windmills could lessen our workload, so we could have more rest.
Education then was poor, unlike now, where Singapore has first class education.
There were few schools and universities, therefore not many of us could get good education.
In conclusion, life before the Industrial Revolution was undesired.
Transport, food, clothing, jobs and education were limited.
