Question

of How do our modern day perception of what a factory is or what industrialization is, affect our understanding of past industrialization?

Answer 1

Modern day industrialization is still very similar to the past. The main difference is that now it is safer than in the past. The unions have worked to make the machines safer to operate and the atmosphere better, eliminating the things that have harmed people who work there.
