The video tutorial explores the concept of assembly lines, a method of mass production where products move along a conveyor belt while workers remain stationary. It contrasts pre-20th century production, which relied on skilled craftsmen, with the industrial revolution's introduction of machines like the steam engine, which increased production and reduced costs. The assembly line, while revolutionary, led to job losses and workforce marginalization as tasks became simplified and easily replaceable. Today, assembly lines are ubiquitous in factories worldwide, continually evolving with technology.

In what ways did machines change the production process compared to human workers?

Reflect on the statement: 'the assembly line changed the world.' What does this mean in the context of modern manufacturing?
