Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the Industrial Revolution, the location of production shifted from cottages to factories due to the increased use of machinery. However, today there is a trend towards decentralized production, with more individuals starting home-based businesses or using small-scale production methods. This shift is partly due to advancements in technology that make it easier to produce goods at home or in small workshops.
