Technology Changes Lives

Instead of making a living by farming, they took jobs in factories and other businesses. By 1920, more Americans lived in urban areas than in rural areas.
• Many people also bought cars for the fist time in the 1920’s especially those built on Henry For’s assembly lines. The number of cars n the road more than doubled between 1920 and 1929
