mass production
Mass production is an industrial process that came along with the dawn of factories. Simply, it involved 'dumbed-down' work that involved using machines to produce a massive output of products at an extremely cheap and fast rate. For example, if required 100 sweaters to be made, 50 by a mass-producer and 50 by a skilled weaver, you'd get your factory sweaters quickly and cheaply, since the cost and time to create them are very low. Your skilled weaver's sweaters would take a longer time and be more expensive, since the weaver is taking a long time to create each sweater, and is doing this all with a standard sewing machine, rather than a gigantic industrial sewing machine you might find in the factory. Also, on a side note, the quality of the mass-produced product is usually as good as the quality of the product which wasn't mass-produced.
