The positive effects of industrialisation are summarised as follows: more
reliabile sufficient food production, advancement in life sciences (dietetics, hygienics,
medicine knowledge and technique, family planning, pharmacology, biology,
biotechnology) and public health care (vaccination, immunisation), resulting in slow
rise of average life expectancy and well being, and less poverty; decline of burden of
communicable diseases; development of continent-wide electric grids and
improvement of heating, cooking, and cold storage systems; improvement of physical
and virtual mobility, as well as speed of information transfer; replacement of
dangerous, exhausting, and monotonous work by machines or robots; improvement of
occupational health; reduction of duration of the workweek and immense growth in
economic performance; slow increase of general education, specialised knowledge, and
of the world intellectual property index; increase of the amount of published scientific
papers per annum; general IQ gains; increase of chip performance; progress in risk
management, quality of prognoses, forecasts, and of early warning systems, thus
preventing damages to life and property; improved performance of artificial
photosynthesis and of solar cells; and immense progress in basic research concerning
e.g. genomics, the subatomic world, material science, geosciences, aero- and
astronautics, and cosmology.
